**THIS TITLE WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE UNITL 6/5/12**

In 1967, as most of the city slept, colonels in the Greek military swiftly engineered a coup d'état. We bear witness to this devastating event and its brutal aftermath through the stories of fourmemorable characters: Sophie, a student of French literature, who gets swept up in the resistance alongside her privileged, left-leaning boyfriend; her mother Eleni, a widowed doctor, who struggles with her lost sense of passion in the face of this latest challenge to democracy; Sophie’s uncle Mihalis, an outspoken poet of some renown, who finds himself keeping a low profile as he tries to reconcile with his estranged wife; and Anna, Sophie’s younger sister, who undergoes the remarkable transformation from fearful insomniac to betrayed lover to empowered student activist.

As the years pass, their lives take divergent paths, each searching for love and fulfillment as they struggle to make their own peace with when to stay silent and when to act.
