Ο ήχος της σιωπής της

She was beautiful and enigmatic, dynamic but emotionally closed, apparently possessed of an unshakable inner balance through the many dramatic turns of her life. He was active and widely travelled but insecure and vulnerable, always feeling a stranger in his surroundings, and odd in others' eyes. She is the mother, he the son. Her death prompts him to look back, with the late wisdom and unresolved questions of old age, on their parallel lives and their tense relationship, in a Greece and a world that kept changing from the 1950s to the present. A novel about two opposite characters, their attitudes to life and the way they live their identity and that of their country.
