Description

1919, in the aftermath of the Great War: Anna Kampanari, a girl from an urban family, breaks the conventions of polite society and makes her revolution. She leaves her home and Athens to work at the first Greek sanatorium, which has been established in Pelion. There, she becomes the mistress of her own destiny. Alongside people who experience their personal adventures with dignity, she discovers a new world. She is enchanted by the natural environment, while being fascinated by the visionary doctor, Giorgos Karamanis. With him, she lives a great love affair, with unique and unprecedented experiences. Until Angelos Sicelianos enters her life, the man who will complete her as a person and as a woman, the poet who will take her on a journey of love and dreams, but also of remorse and guilt.

A novel with elements of biography, history, medicine, poetry, and testimony, not only of events, but also of passions and emotions. A story where nature itself transforms into life. A triumphant hymn to love, to passion, but also to human will.

"A book about tender dreams and the centaur love, the one that half dances with unknown wisdom and the other is a galloping horse. All of this, of course, in Pelion, but also in the light of another sea once in Salamis. I will remember it."

(Isidoros Zourgos)
