Özet

Bucharest has fallen, and Harriet and Guy Pringle have escaped to Athens in the nick of time to find several of their old acquaintances there already. But even Guy's eternal optimism fails him when he realises that his former employees feel no gratitude or loyalty to him. Guy and Harriet both come to realise that with Greece threatened by the Axis Powers, Athens is not the safe harbour they thought.

This is the third and final part of The Balkan Trilogy, which began with The Great Fortune and was followed by The Spoilt City.

Read this 50 years ago and in lockdown have been so disappointed by so many contemporary best sellers and lauded novels, decided to return to some old favourites. I’m so glad I did. Rediscovered Daphne Du Murier and now Olivia Manning. Echos of remembrance enhanced my enjoyment, but it wasn’t just nostalgia for my 20s when I read it last, but the pure pleasure of the audio experience and the quality of the writing. Yes, for a modern read, it could do with a good edit and the startling incentive sentences are sometimes weighed down by repetitive character observations but it’s still one if the best lockdown compensations and escape.

Wonderful, just wonderful

Beautifully written and wonderfully read. I entered this period of time with some knowledge having studied this period. However this depiction gave life, colour and depth to the relationships between different and unknown individuals during a time of unbelievable stress and struggle.

Just perfect

Loved the twists and turns of the story. The characters were all believable, even the most outrageous amongst them. The central pair have their own story and yet events in pre war Greece throws them off course

Engaging characters

A brilliant, visceral account of the months before the German invasion of Greece. A very personal book beautifully read.

Fascinating
