Book synopsis

A Cretan village confronts the Nazi juggernaut sweeping across Europe.

A village matriarch tries to hold her family together…Her grieving son finds a new life in the Cretan Resistance…A naive English soldier unwillingly finds the warrior in himself…And a fanatical German paratrooper is forced to question everything he thought he believed in. 

The lives of four ordinary people are irrevocably entwined and their destinies changed forever as each of them confronts the horrors of war and its echoes down the decades.

My review

This is a great story about the invasion of Crete in 1941 and the following months. Some great characters are included in this book.

Some parts are very moving especially the description of the massacre of an entire village.

Absolutely outstanding story that was fascinating to read about.
