I first read this little book many years ago. It is one you will never forget. It describes the life of a boy in a small Greek village, first under the Nazi occupation, and then during the civil war that follows WWII. The author skillfully includes the hardships of life with the joys; the mysticism of ancient traditions and modern intrusions of technology and warfare. The imagery this book draws up makes it unforgettable.
