A novel-chronicle that takes the reader on a journey to Asia Minor before the destruction.
The tragedy of the Greek community in Asia Minor, through the story of a family in the twin communities of Makri and Livisio, where Greeks and Turks coexisted harmoniously. The story of Dimitrios and Despina during the turbulent years of 1908-1922.
They meet, start a family, and struggle to survive in a region that gradually transforms from paradise to hell. Sabotage, espionage, persecution, exile, imprisonment, endless death marches, and forced labor, along with humanity, mutual aid, and love, compose the chronicle of an Asia Minor Odyssey.
The dark clouds of war gather in the sky of Makri and Livisio, and it won't be long before the storm breaks out, leading to the uprooting of 1922.
