Piraeus, 1910. Laura Alfieri-Roma settles in the great port after losing the person she loved more than anyone else in her life. She searches through his past, looking for traces of him in every corner of the house, sensing his presence in the garden and following his shadow through the streets of Pasalimani.
But in a magical and unpredictable city, anything can happen, and the famous Widow of Piraeus will embark on a thrilling adventure as fate brings one twist after another. At her side are people living out their own stories, both small and great, from the mansions of Kastella to the brothels of Troumba: the Beautiful Dardane, kind-hearted Maria-Bethlehem, Dr. Alexandros Sinopoulos, shipowner Nikiforos Maximos, and many others, who complete this striking portrait of the era.
In this new and unfamiliar world, Laura will pursue herself, yet also be pursued by herself. She will wonder whether there can be a second chance, journey from darkness into light and, ultimately, discover that life’s greatest happiness lies in loving life.
The sequel to the bestseller THE BAREFOOT WOMAN OF ATHENS, a standalone novel that offers redemption.
