Description

The thread of life, wrapped in thorns and pain, unexpectedly connects two little kids in one of Queen Frederica's children's towns, Ziros. Fotis and Dionysis, along with Greece, endure their own Golgotha. Two terrified children's souls encounter harsh overseers and group leaders, far from the embrace and safety of their mother. They become blood brothers and strive to survive in a suffocating environment. Fotis turns into a wild creature, and his life is marked by escapes, wavering thoughts, love and hatred for his mother, questioning life itself. Everything on the razor's edge, beside the lake of Kyra-Frosini. The two children are lost in time. Life has not said the last word... A unique journey through the history of Greece, during the years of monarchy, dictatorship, and the Metapolitefsi. A true heartbreaking story, through the eyes of the wild creature of Epirus, that shakes even the coldest reader.

Reviews

  • Excellent writing by Menios Sakellaropoulos, for the fictional depiction of a gripping true story. The biography of a man I was fortunate to know, and if I hadn't read the book, I could never imagine the past. A must-read book

    One of the few books that enchanted me, moved me, appreciated the power of the soul, and hurt for all those children who only sought love... I recommend it without hesitation... just to think about how true the story is... Bravo to the author... deep appreciation for Mr. Fotis, an example of life for all of us.
