Product Description
The turbulent life of Mary, who becomes an orphan the moment she is born, begins in Greek Smyrna, then in refugee camps in today's Kokkinia area, later in Cairo and Alexandria, and finally in Greece. Shortly before the uprooting, a secret will bring her facing a terrible dilemma: to share it in order to attenuate its weight or to hold it safe in her heart? A life will swing between the love that marked her and her teenage love that fate will make him her husband.
A whole life between "musts" and "wants." In Egypt, when fate smiles at her and her life seems to be calming down, her son will have to fight with the Allies in North Africa. His eyes would always remind her the great love that fate will bring back during the most difficult moment. Scattered important historical information frame Mary’s story and create the background of that era, while time often turns back and becomes Present.
