Thomas,I read it in English.It was very good.I remember my grandmother telling me stories about the civil war after the German occupation.It was very descriptive of war,death, and above all how strong these women that were left behind to continue supporting their families without men.

Also alot of political figures and issues were commented on and I think that's why it was banned in Greece.

Vividly and realistically conveys the terror and confusion of the civil war and the yearning of the ordinary people—a 2000-year dream—to be masters of their own destiny in a country at peace with itself and its neighbors." —Library Journal

"Fakinos uses the story of Doliani to sketch in the ugly and tragic history of his country. . . . In this novel [he] emerges . . . as a significant Greek writer." —The Nation
