Returning to Ionia

Set against the backdrop of World War II, the story follows a fictional boy aged 10-15 as he navigates the occupation of Greece by Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany. While the narrative is entirely invented, it draws inspiration from historical events and personal experiences of the author, who spent years crafting episodes that coalesce into a cohesive tale. The protagonist's journey culminates in a return to his birthplace, Ionia, a fictional location that symbolizes the intertwining of personal and historical narratives.
