Book Description
The oracle at Delphi once guided the paths of kings and commoners alike, from the Temple of Apollo high on Mount Parnassus. At one time, it was considered to be the centre of the world, but in the tiny and peaceful Greek village of Ano Hora, hidden deep in its shadow, life has revolved around herding and harvesting for countless generations, following the patterns of the seasons―interrupted only by the vagaries of the human heart, which time and again had led brave Greeks away from home to fight for causes they believed in. But when those battles start to hit closer to home, things can’t help but change forever. With the onset of WWII, Greece is invaded by German and Italian forces, pitting neighbour against neighbour and brother against brother. Inevitably, WWII gives birth to the Greek Civil War and the Paidomazoma, wherein 28,000 Greek children are abducted by Greek communist rebels, and transported behind the Iron Curtain, in order to “save them” from the royalist, capitalist agenda. This is a story of courage and determination, qualities for which the Greek people are famous, having never surrendered or bowed down to any outside force ... but what do they do when their own ideologies start to tear them apart from the inside? Focusing on a single family from Ano Hora, Appointment in Delphi beautifully showcases the physical and emotional cost of war and the nobility and self-sacrifice of people willing to lose everything they have in order to protect the ones they love.
