Shadow War in
Crete begins in a maternity ward in New Jersey,
where Amalia, a young woman of Greek parentage, is awakening
from anesthetic after giving birth to a child that was
stillborn – or so she is told. When she lear4ns
that her husband, a young German doctor, has disappeared
as well, she nearly loses her sanity. To Regain her
equilibrium, she decides to return to Crete to live
with her mother and grandparents in the village of Agia
Pelayla.
The year is 1939, and Amalia’s
quest for inner peace soon becomes a struggle for survival
as Greece is engulfed in World War II. Amalia’s
story becomes entwined with intelligence agents and
the guerilla “shadow warriors” – the
Greeks, British and Anzacs who hid in mountain caves,
descending at night to wreak havoc on the Nazis who
occupied Crete for four years.
This is a wonderfully suspenseful
novel that plunges the reader into another world and
time. With hairbreadth escapes and poignant scenes of
heroism, this novel is a page-turner from beginning
to end.
