As World War II intrudes upon their home, three young friends risk
everything for freedom, love, and a chance at a better life. On
October 28th, 1940, Mussolini provides Greek Prime Minister Ioannis
Metaxas with an ultimatum: either allow Axis forces to occupy their
country, or face war, and Greece's response is swift. "Oxi!" they
say. "No!" In a small village nestled against the radiant waters of
the Aegean Sea, we find Alexei, the son of a local fisherman,
and his best friend Costa, who were both born on the same night
eighteen years earlier and have been like brothers ever since,
though now, like all the other young men in their village and
throughout Greece, they will leave their homes to bravely fight for
their country. But before they go, Alexei asks Philia, the girl
that he's loved his entire life, to marry him, which sets into
motion the events which will change the lives of these three and
their family and friends forever, and begins an epic and
unforgettable story of courage, survival, sacrifice, the strength
of the human spirit, and of a love and friendship that will echo
across time and generations. A spellbinding novel and sweeping
romance that performs the remarkable feat of creating action-packed
scenes, characters that we care deeply about, and revealing in
vivid detail the untold true story of how Greece helped the Allies
to win World War II, Once We Were Here is an
unforgettable tale that pays tribute to the brave men and women who
fought and gave everything for their country, for each other, and
for freedom.
