A woman is discovered locked in a cellar in a mountain village: she is suffering, and suffering too from photophobia - fear of light. Her story goes back to the Greek Civil War. It is also a tale of lost love. Fotini has disobeyed and been punished. A slow silent crime takes root, and comes to haunt the village. Her story travels throughout the land, causing division and reviving conflicts, while from front pages her face stares at the world with complaint and accusation.
Julietta Harvey was born in Greece and came to Britain as a student. She has written two highly acclaimed novels about her country's struggles in the 20th century, Familiar Wars and One Third of Paradise. She lives in Cambridge with her husband, the novelist and lecturer John Harvey.
Long-listed for the 2023 Anglo-Hellenic League's Runciman Award, given for the best book on a Greek subject.
