On the estate their grandfather built in the orchard plain outside Kifisia, three sisters grow up over three summers: sensual Maria, the eldest at twenty; fiery but guarded Infanta, eighteen; and Katerina, sixteen, who longs for independence, chooses dreams and tells the story. Each meets the landscape, her own nature and her desires in a different way, and love, often of the kind that had to stay hidden, moves to the centre of their lives.
