STEFANOS DANDOLOS - THE NIGHTINGALES OF SILENCE

How far would a man go to find the woman of his life again? How many bullets could he pass through, how many flaming roads would he dare to traverse?
AUTUMN 1944. The Germans leave Athens. Liberation brings redemption, but also division. Civil passions are awakened, Greece is headed for destruction again.
KYRIOS ARISTEIDES is the longest-serving waiter at Kafeneion Zaharatou in Syntagma Square. Modest and kind-hearted, he always dreams of his Eudoxia, the sensitive cleaner he once fell in love with. As Attica descends into chaos, a letter will revive his hope to find her. But the dreaded December lingers. And he seems relentless.
THIS IS THE STORY OF a man's desperate journey through the Decembrianas, in search of his own homeland. Around him a lot of other stories: the legendary cafe and its patrons, secrets and lies, brother killing brother, betrayals and scheming, the chronicle of the armed conflict, Winston Churchill, Eleni Papadakis, Odysseus Elytis, the simple and tortured people who intersect with the violent destiny of Greece.
Three years after The Trial That Changed the World, the multi-award-winning author of the bestsellers The Story Without a Name and The Wind and the Fire returns with a riveting novel about the value of innocence in the deepest darkness.
