Description

This “fiercely absorbing, passionate novel” tells the epic tale of two sisters in the war-torn streets of Nazi­-occupied Athens. In 2008, Antigone Perifanis returns to her family home in Athens after sixty years in exile to attend the funeral of her only son, Nikitas. Another family member steps into her life, re-opening wounds of her tragic past. Nikitas' English widow, Maud, investigates his complicated past, reigniting a bitter family feud and discovering the heartbreaking story of a young mother caught up in the political tides of the Greek Civil War. 'The House on Paradise Street' is a gorgeously written novel about love and loss, spanning through historical events and revealing the impact of ideology on humanity.
