Baroque by Amanda Michalopoulou

Amanda Michalopoulou’s new book is an unexpected novel of “uncoming of age,” an adventurous quest for oneself and its reflections. Her heroine is getting younger rather than older, and the place narrows with her. Greece is dreaming of Europe, the Colonels are returning, and the girl is crawling in an estate that has not yet been given for land granting. What happens next? What if the suspense is not at the end, but at the beginning of things?
