What is it that connects you to a place? And what is the significance of this bond for your inner assembly/formation? Which things are those that weigh the most, those that memory holds, and the nostalgia transforms or those that bring the immediate experiences of the present, with their liveliness and fluidity?
Eugenia, which was extirpated as a child from her beloved home in Istanbul, strives to reconstitute in Thessaloniki the serene and beautiful atmosphere of her father’s house, despite poverty, loneliness, and consecutive impasses.

People are moving around her in a sixty-year journey, and their individual stories are intertwined with the collective, contemporary Greek trajectory, until the 1980s.
A vivid, voluptuous novel that follows three generations in their struggle for a life worth living.
