Ζωή μεθόρια

In the early 1980s Zoi, from Thessaloniki, begins a new life as a secondary-school teacher in Thrace. But what she fears most keeps repeating itself like a bad joke: the men who get involved with her come to a bad end. This time she must protect Giannis, the young captain who sails the seas and seeks her out with passion whenever he reaches land. On the border she tests her new role and clashes, as an uncompromising student of the post-junta years, with those who want to cut her to their measure, while struggling to free herself from the superstition that lives inside her. A road novel full of music, parties, landscapes and journeys.
