Andi R¿diu: The Journal of White Stone, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Thessaloniki, 1889. Heleni Vasilakis is eighteen, the daughter of a good family, and in love. When that love produces a child before the world allows it, her father does not rage. He signs a paper. A boat is sent at dawn. And a healthy young woman is erased - exiled to a leper island off the coast of Crete, a fortress of white Venetian stone.

There, among the truly ill, Heleni does the only thing left to her: she writes. A journal for a daughter she will never raise - sewn into the child's clothes before they are parted.

A century later, an architect in Athens inherits a house, a mahogany box, and a name no one in the family will say aloud. What she finds will cross a hundred and thirty-five years to reach her.

A novel of memory, erasure, and the voices that outlast the silence meant to bury them.

The seventh novel of The Secrets of Crete.
