Özet
 ‘A very accomplished novel’ Louis de Bernieres, author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin
‘Hard to put this book down’ Sofka Zinovieff
Calliope Adham – young, strong-willed, and recently widowed – is schoolmistress in the village of Molyvos when Hitler’s army invades Greece in 1941. Well-read and linguistically gifted, she is recruited by the Germans to act as their liaison officer. It is the beginning of a personal and national saga that will last for several decades.
Calliope’s wartime duties bring her into close contact with Lieutenant Lorenz Umbreit, the Wehrmacht commander. The schoolmistress is an active member of the Greek Resistance, yet her friendship with the German blossoms against all odds, in a fishing village seething with dread and suspicion.
Amid privation and death, the villagers’ hostility finally erupts, but the bond between Calliope and Umbreit survives, taking unforeseeable turns as Greece is ravaged by civil war and oppressed by military dictatorship. It is against this turbulent background that Calliope emerges as a champion for girls' and women's rights.
Arrested Song is a haunting, sumptuous novel, weaving the private and the historic into a vivid tapestry of Greek island life. Spanning over three decades, it chronicles the story of an extraordinary woman and her lifelong struggle against social and political tyranny.©2023 Irena Karafilly (P)2023 W.F.Howes Ltd 20th Century Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Kadın Kurgu Kurgu World Literature Yunanistan Romantik Köy Savaş

Thanks to this book you realise how traumatic the history of Greece has been over the past century. It provides a real insight into how these changes impacted on village island life & how resilient the Greek people have been.

A fascinating & evocative glimpse of greek history in the 20th century, through the life experience of an Island woman.

Narration ok apart from the accents which are so strange and quite bad. Otherwise a beautiful book.

Story ok. Normal speaking narration ok. But German throaty accent was too much and made me want to cough.

Narration not to my liking

Loved this. Compelling listening, extremely well written and the narrator brought it all to life. Brought to light elements of recent Greek history that are essentially just around the corner and are little known. I was amazed how I could continue to be drawn in and held for the full nearly 15 hours. Thoroughly recommended.

Couldn't stop listening
