Ματωμένα Χώματα by Dido Sotiriou
This novel is a poignant narrative set against the backdrop of the Greco-Turkish War and the subsequent population exchange between Greece and Turkey in the early 20th century. It tells the harrowing story of a Greek family living in Asia Minor who are forced to flee their ancestral home amidst the violence and upheaval of the time. Through their journey, the book explores themes of identity, loss, and the enduring human spirit in the face of displacement and tragedy. The narrative serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of individuals caught in the crossfire of historical events, and a reminder of the personal stories behind the broad strokes of history.
