A book about love, loss, family, tragedy, roots, culture, shame, pride, tradition and change. In a word, about life. This book talks about the tragic events that stigmatized generations of Cypriots and how past can shape future. How intermingled generations are and how one's decisions affect the next in a very immediate manner.

And about nature! And how nobody ever imagines trees and animals having feelings about war and other of life's issues. This book was an interesting take on a grim subject.
