Review Author: Tina Hartas

A novella set in Zagori, which apparently is Greece’s remote wonderland and a ‘serene paradise’.

Alexandros is a 13 year old boy who has returned to his home. Standing on a bridge, he happens to meet local inhabitant Lefteris, photographer and farm worker, and gives him a stark warning about his girlfriend Evgenia, who even now is in danger. His prediction proves undeniably correct. Just how did Alexandros know? He then comes to the rescue of the couple on further occasions before he disappears and Evgenia eventually has the answer. A few twists and turns along the way before the delightful story concludes.

This is a heart warming and easy to read story that affirms we are not alone in this world, that there are good people looking after us, guiding our journeys in life.
