How far would a man go to find the woman of his life again? Ηοw many bullets could he dodge, how many fiery roads would he dare travel? AUTUMN 1944. The Germans withdraw from Athens. Liberation brings redemption, but also division. Civil passions are awakened, Greece is heading for disaster again. MR ARISTIDES is the longest-serving waiter at the Zacharatou Café in Syntagma Square. Modest and good-natured, he always dreams of his Eudoxia, the sensitive cleaning lady he once fell in love with. As Attica surrenders to chaos, a letter will revive his hope of being near her. But the dreaded December lurks. And it seems relentless. THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE man's desperate journey in the midst of December, in search of his own homeland. Around him a whole host of other stories: the legendary café and its patrons, secrets and lies, brother killing brother, betrayals and plots, the chronicle of the armed conflict, Winston Churchill, Eleni Papadakis, Odysseus Elytis, the simple and tortured people who intersect with the violent destiny of Greece.
