Wine-Dark Sea - Victoria Hislop

Beloved bestselling author Victoria Hislop explores the turbulence of the post-war era in Greece in this unforgettable and riveting new novel that will delight those fans who cherish The Island and The Figurine.

During three years of brutal civil war in Greece, thousands of children were caught in the chaos that swept across the country. Huge numbers were orphaned, several found themselves imprisoned alongside their mothers and the majority were left to fend for themselves. Of those left alone, many were placed inside newly created children's homes and thousands were kidnapped and taken behind the Iron Curtain, never to return home... Years later three of those children, now grown-up, must face up to how this bitter conflict destroyed their childhoods and defined their adult lives.
