Description: " The renowned educationalist Photeine Phrankule masterfully tells the superbly illustrated story of Eleni and her beloved grandfather, who brings the people, nature and the past of her native Lesbos close to her. He teaches her to preserve memories like dispersed and broken pieces of antique pottery. After his death, Eleni keeps coming back to these sights of her childhood as a grown-up woman to be true to his legacy. For everything tells of the ancestors' labour and sweat but also of the miseries of the refugees from both countries: Here is Lesbos, there is Asia-Minor, the former Greek home, and in between, the silver, starry strip of the Aegean Sea. Surely, the other half of the collected pottery must lie on the opposite, Turkish coast." ( Description from publisher)
