About this listen
In this emotional novel based on Greece's real history, we follow three generations of one family, broken apart by secrets and war, as Olivia travels to the island of her mother's birth to piece together a century's worth of her family's past.
On the Greek island of Castellorizo, young Sofía must put her big dreams on hold to support her older sister Maria with her large family. But World War II is looming and while the idyllic island may seem far from harm at first, there are unspeakable dangers on the horizon—perils that will change the sisters' lives forever....
Devastated by her divorce and the death of her dear mum, Olivia seeks solace on Castellorizo. Her Granny Sofía fled the beautiful Greek island during the war, but Olivia knows little else about her family's history. The only link to the Island she has left is her elderly great-uncle George. As his memory begins to fail, Olivia feels her one chance at uncovering the truth about her grandmother start to slip away.
As a mother's sacrifice echoes throughout the generations, will Olivia discover some things are best left in the past?

history of a beautiful island
My family are from Kassie, but I never really knew the history around WW2 (they’d already left!). so a lovely way to hear it. A really nice read & agree with another reviewer- the Aussie accent is terrible.

A beautiful story
What a lovely story, and a fantastic way to learn of yet more history of a part of the world I didn’t really know anything about.

Interesting read
This book portrayed the history of a little known part of the world. However I was irritated by the portrayal of the character, Rob, an Australian. I’ve never met one that talks that way. It was rather annoying to listen to. Spoiled the novel.

Based on true events.
Enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Only dislike was the dreadfully annoying Australian accent of Rob.
