As World War II intrudes upon their home, three young friends risk everything for freedom, love, and a chance at a better life.
On October 28, 1940, Mussolini gives Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas an ultimatum: either allow Axis forces to occupy their country, or face war. Greece’s response is swift. “Oxi!” they say. “No!”
In a village nestled against the radiant waters of the Aegean Sea live Alexei, the son of a local fisherman, and his best friend Costa, who were both born on the same night eighteen years earlier and have been like brothers ever since. Now, though, like all the young men throughout Greece, they must leave their homes to fight for their country. Before they go, Alexei asks Philia, the girl he’s loved his entire life, to marry him, which sets into motion the events that will change the lives of these three and their families and friends forever and begins an epic story of courage, survival, sacrifice, the strength of the human spirit, and of a love and friendship that will echo across generations.
A spellbinding novel and sweeping romance,
Once We Were Here
is an unforgettable tale that reveals in vivid detail the untold true story of how Greece helped the Allies to win World War II and pays tribute to the brave men and women who fought and gave everything for their country, for each other, and for freedom.
