They tilted their heads slightly to the side, almost touching. Their gaze wandered over the faint horizon that had been formed by the dew of dawn, as if they were seeing it for the first time.
To their eyes clouded with emotion, the image seemed like a precious painting, painted with the indelible colors of their souls: of love and nostalgia.
"You'll see," said Minas, looking at the sea and the sun that had timidly emerged, there in the distance, where sky and sea become one.
"We will face this sea again, my love, and we will hear again the sweet song of its waves... We will taste, as we have until today, its saltiness and its intoxicating aroma...
And then, everything will be better, and her song will be our song and her taste, the sweet taste of our life..."
A shocking novel,
based on true events,
about the power of memory,
the greatness of love
and the silent endurance of people
against History.
