Greece after the triumph of '40, during the Occupation. A dark era for Greek history. A tyrannical life for the Greeks who unjustly had to live under the orders of the conqueror.

Everyone struggles to find a way to survive. They will resort to all means, but will never forget their freedom. They will continue to fight for it. And amidst this horror, the children. Zoe, the unknown heroine, known from this book, will try to understand.

She will grow up in the horror of hunger, she will hope when the adults take up arms to shake off the yoke, she will cry, she will want - was she not a child? - to be happy. Around her, a strange, harsh, unfeeling world, rushing to escape, rushing to find a piece of bread, often only in the trash, the executions, the optimism that everything will end.

Her eyes will see much. She will hear more. She will suffer. She will know hope. She will live with it until the end of Evil comes. And it came. And it became the wild celebration of liberation. The goddess of Athens, Athena, also came down to the streets to celebrate with everyone.

Zoe is twenty years old! A new world surrounds her. A new life awaits her...
