  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I would choose a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for purchase
  • The book was breathtaking. I only deducted one star because it was too heavy in my opinion... I was reading it to my 9-year-old daughter with a trembling voice, trying not to cry. Maybe it's more suitable for older children, I don't know... it's very, very touching throughout. Congratulations to the author!

  • A story of memory, a touching story. It captured the interest of the children who read it with great attention. It serves as an opportunity to talk to our children about the Asia Minor Catastrophe and many other things.

    One of the best-written and captivating children's books I have ever read! It took me to Smyrna and made me feel like I was one of the protagonists of the story! Touching, well-written, and with beautiful illustrations. I believe it is suitable for all ages 6-99! Congratulations to the author, I wish her to always have such beautiful stories to tell us!
