Το δίκιο είναι ζόρικο πολύ

For private reasons a young woman puts her degree in Athens on hold and moves back in with her parents in Chania. A document she comes across by accident pulls her, a little more each day, into her grandfather's life and the town's recent history. Why were German troops still in Chania in June 1945, and why, for two months after the German surrender, did the British leave them in charge of public order? Narrated by the young woman herself, the novel looks at history and the ways it is told, at how great events shape ordinary lives, and at where a single person stands in the world.
