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 28, 1940, Mussolini gives Greek Prime Minister Ioannis
Metaxas an ultimatum: either allow Axis forces to occupy their
country, or face war. Greece's response is swift. "Oxi!" they say.
"No!" In a village nestled against the radiant waters of the Aegean
Sea live 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. Now, though, like all the
young men throughout Greece, they must leave their homes to fight
for their country. Before they go, Alexei asks Philia, the girl
he's loved his entire life, to marry him, which sets into motion
the events that will change the lives of these three and their
families and friends forever and begins an epic story of courage,
survival, sacrifice, the strength of the human spirit, and of a
love and friendship that will echo across generations. A
spellbinding novel and sweeping romance, Once We Were Here is an
unforgettable tale that reveals in vivid detail the untold true
story of how Greece helped the Allies to win World War II and pays
tribute to the brave men and women who fought and gave everything
for their country, for each other, and for freedom.
