On the day Italy declares war on Greece in 1940, Rebecca is twelve years old and growing up in Trikala in an unusual family – her father is Israeli and her mother is Christian. Her adolescence is marked by shocking events: persecutions, imprisonments, but also acts of resistance. Slogans, demonstrations, friendships and betrayals, youthful heartbeats, dreams and painful separations. The people around her bring to life the harshest yet most heroic era of our modern history, bringing to the forefront events unknown to many. A fiction book that traverses the Occupation, while simultaneously describing the heroine's internal journey towards adulthood.
