'As I remember, the story started at dawn on the fourteenth of September, 1943...'
All her life, London-born Angelika has been intrigued by her mother's secret past. Now planning her wedding, she knows she must visit the remote Crete village her mother grew up in.
Angie's estranged Cretan grandmother, Maria, is dying. She welcomes Angie with open arms - it's time to unburden herself, and tell the story she'll otherwise take to her grave.
It's the story of the German occupation of Crete during the Second World War, of horror, of courage and of the lengths to which a mother will go to protect her children. And it's the story of secrets that broke a family apart, and of three enchanting women who come together to heal the wounds of two generations.
