O Malley takes to Danae and Stefanos, and when Stefanos is witness to a German soldier s shooting in their village, Kalavyrta, the Irishman hides with the young boy among the Greek resistance, the antartes. Tragedy after tragedy befalls this group, both from in-fighting and at the hands of the Germans. The innocent villagers of Kalavyrta are the targets of the Germans revenge on the antartes. Serafim has written devastating descriptions of the ruthless violence that is inflicted on the women, men, and children. The attitude of O Malley s British superiors towards the carnage is as chilling as the Germans actions. What saves the novel from a feeling of complete despair is O Malley s love for Danae and his growing love of her country. This aspect of the war was unknown to me before this book. It s as important as the Blitz and the occupation of Paris, and Serafim makes me want to learn more.
