The House by the River

Description

From acclaimed Greek author Lena Manta comes an emotionally powerful saga following five young women as they realize that no matter where life leads them, the only constant is home.

Theodora knows she can’t keep her five beautiful daughters at home endlessly—they’re too curious, too free spirited, too like their late father. And so, before each and every girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora makes sure they know they’re at all times welcome to go back.

Having survived World War II, the Nazi occupation of Greece, and her husband’s death, Theodora now endures the twenty-year-long silence of her daughters’ absence. Her children have their own lives—they’ve married, traveled the world, and courted romance, fame, and even tragedy. But as they grow to be up to date, independent women in pursuit of their dreams, Theodora knows they need her—and each and every other—more than ever. Have they grown thus far apart that they’ve forgotten their childhood home, or will their broken hearts in any case lead them back again?
