Erietta

After separating from her husband, Fiona returns to the small Greek island where she used to spend her summers with him, hoping to revisit the places of their shared past, a memory that feels both dear and alien. Although she knows the island well, the strange sense of displacement she experiences allows her to open her eyes to what is happening around her and meet new people, such as Erietta, the elderly woman who lives in the neighboring house, and her young ward, Aggeliki. Her unexpected friendship with them offers her the warmth she needs to imagine other possible lives. A beautiful and intimate novel in which the writer Clara Pastor masterfully explores the three stages of life through her unforgettable characters.
