Αιολική γη by Elias Venezis

A lyrical, semi-autobiographical novel that vividly evokes life in a Greek coastal community of Asia Minor—its everyday rhythms, customs and landscape—before and during the upheavals of the early twentieth century; through intimate scenes and evocative detail it traces the gradual destruction of that world by war and forced displacement, conveying the trauma of exile and a poignant, lingering nostalgia for a lost homeland.
