When Rita, a young historian, returns to Antiparos to settle her grandmother Margaros' inheritance, the wind and the salt carry whispers from a past that no one dared to reveal.
In the old house in Kampos, hidden deep inside a piece of furniture, she discovers a wooden box full of secrets, fragments of a love that endured half a century in silence. From the courtyards of Antiparos to the alleys of Syros, Rita follows a thread of secret meetings and shadowy promises, until she comes face to face with a truth capable of uniting or wounding three generations.
At the same time, she grows close to Giorgis, the island's captain, and is called to confront a question that concerns not only the past: how much space do we allow love to exist when the truth hurts?
Two timelines, two loves, and a truth that, sooner or later, demands to be told. A novel about love that cannot fit into obligations, about secrets that silently travel from generation to generation, and about the courage truth requires, even when it hurts.
