The Green Shore

The Green Shore

by Natalie Bakopoulos

  • LITERATURE
  • 2012
  • HARD COVER
  • 353 PAGES

Bakopoulos' lyrical debut follows the tumultuous history of an Athens family caught up in the 1967 military coup that brought to power a series of right-wing military juntas. Brilliantly evocative of the faded beauty of 1970s Athens, its jasmine-scented rooftop gardens and seedy street corners, and of the brutality and paranoia of life under an oppressive regime, this story of love and resistance is a fine exploration of a seminal moment in modern Greek history.  (GRE512, $25.00)
