Description

The Lucky Child immerses us deeply into the lives of the Apostolides family during World War II, and the subsequent Civil War in Greece. Subtle in its execution, clear in its vision, with a narrative that is both incisive and heartfelt, the novel provides an excellent opportunity for readers to witness the private and unfathomable cost of war, politics, and valour during one of the most troubling periods in modern Greek history. Its unanswered questions, both real and imagined, will haunt long after its final page is turned." Tess Fragoulis "The Lucky Child is a significant addition to the growing stock of literature by Greeks of the Diaspora and their descendants." James Karas, The Greek Press You can read an interview about the book here.
