Πώς να κρυφτείς

Stefanos teaches Greek and is thirty-five when he arranges a posting to Berlin. As a small boy he was taken by a German couple and brought up far from his own parents, and he now wants to know why. He has never felt at home anywhere, and wonders whether he is someone with a double identity or a fugitive hiding from himself. He compares himself to birds blown off course from their migrating flocks. Several voices carry a story that travels from the shores of the Corinthian Gulf to Germany and Morocco, a search for the truth about who he is and for a sense of belonging rooted in language and in the people he loves.
