Description

"But didn't you notice anything?" "No, Farmor, nothing." Konstantina, when she moved with her parents to Germany, was so happy with her new life that it never crossed her mind that one day everything would change. Yet her parents are getting a final divorce, and it's good for her to return to Greece, to her grandmother, Farmor, as Konstantina calls her in Swedish. But how did everything fall apart? How can she endure her grandmother's nagging, who keeps telling her stories about the Occupation and the Resistance? Who will understand her? Thank goodness for Louminis, an older boy from her new school, and the miraculous blue pill that makes her forget everything and not care about anything. But then what? Another pill and another and another... and Konstantina is sometimes in the clouds and sometimes on the edge, in her own universe where lies dominate, trapped in webs, struggling with hands and feet to untangle herself and unable to do so. Or can she? "An evidently educational novel, without the slightest hint of didacticism. With lively narrative characters, the right doses of humor, and complete economy of forces, Zei creates a complete (worth reading for any age) novel." Vangelis Chatzivasileiou, "Eleftherotypia"

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I would choose a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for purchase
  • Amazing book that made me cry. It made me think about various social issues beyond drugs. A book you can't get enough of reading. I read it in just 6 days...
