Louisa: Surviving against all odds: A true story from WWII - Paperback

by Antonis Constantinou (Author)

Feeling that death is nearing, an extrovert Athenian centenarian lady decides to reveal the great secret of her life. She is the infamous Antigone, mentioned in several history texts on the Greek national resistance in WW II. She, however, has a different story to tell...

Amidst the death and destruction caused by a terrible famine and the appalling German reprisals, a spirited and daring young woman struggles to save herself and her family from death. She has lost a brother in the resistance. Can she afford to leave another one in the hands of Italian fascists?

Her affluent background pretty looks and daring actions, far ahead of her time, earn her the envy of lower-class women in her town, now turned mountain rebels. When she is asked to be their leader, conflict breaks out.

Days before a terrible holocaust turns the whole region into death and ashes, she attempts a dangerous Exodus chased through the mountains and cities by Greeks and Germans alike. Will she make it?
