'...a young Greek woman and her Australian boyfriend studying in England in 1972 return to her family’s village on a small island in the Aegean Sea to see her Communist father, who has just been released from prison in Piraeus.
Set in the uneasy and repressive period of the Greek Colonels’ dictatorship, the novel records the passionate violence of resistance to the ruling Fascists on the Island and the couples’ unavoidable part in the local conflict as death approaches the Island.' (Publication abstract)
