Calliope Adham strong-willed, and recently widowed is schoolmistress in the village of Molyvos when Hitler's army invades Greece in 1941. She is promptly recruited by the Germans, who force her to act as their liaison officer. It is the beginning of a personal and national saga that will last well over thirty years. Calliope's wartime duties bring her into close contact with Lieutenant Lorenz Umbreit, the Wehrmacht officer in command of her village. Amid privation and death, the villagers' hostility finally erupts, but the bond between Calliope Adham and Lorenz Umbreit survives the Occupation, taking unforeseeable turns. A bestseller in Greece, THE CAPTIVE SUN is a haunting, sumptuous novel, weaving the private and the historic into a vivid tapestry of Greek island life. It chronicles the story of an extraordinary woman and her lifelong struggle against social and political tyranny.
