This is the story of a Greek couple in Nazi-occupied Athens who must share their living quarters with a German officer. Wescott stages an intense and unsettling drama of accommodation and rejection, resistance and compulsion-an account of political oppression and spiritual struggle that is also a parable about the costs of closeted identity.
