Amazon Synopsis
In 1948, in a Greek mountain village, Eleni Gatzoyiannis was arrested, tortured and shot. She was one of the 158,000 victims of the Greek Civil War. Her crime had been to help her children escape from the Communist guerrillas who occupied their village. Her son, Nicholas Gage, was then eight years old. Eleni is the story of his obsessive and harrowing reconstruction of his mother's life and death and his pursuit of his mother's killer.

I read this as I wanted an insight into some more modern Greek history.
It is a fantastic read, incredibly moving & full of amazing people who have to make some awful choices in the face of war & possible starvation.
Would strongly recommend this.
