Omtale fra forlaget
On the island of Rhodes, two sisters unlock the secrets of their heroic grandmother and the tragic nature of the island's wartime occupation, in a summer read that is simultaneously escapist and engaged with the darkest of modern history. Rebecca Neumanner's marriage is on the brink of collapse, as her desire to be a mother becomes an obsession. Then she receives news from her estranged family in Rhodes. Called back to the beautiful Greek island of her birth, she realises how little she knows of the grandmother she has eluded for over a decade. Bubba has never spoken of the Nazi occupation during her youth, but there have always been whispers. What desperate measures did she take that terrible day in 1944 when her family was ripped apart? Can the rumour she had blood on her own hands really be true? But Bubba intends to take her secrets to the grave. However, as Rebecca arrives on Rhodes, bringing the promise of new life, this broken family must come together. The time has come to tell the truth about the darkest of days . . .

En handlingsmettet historie som delvis baserer seg på tilbakeblikk via dagbok. Det fungerte godt med vekslingen mellom nåtid og fortid, ikke et kjedelig øyeblikk.
