A vivid, character-driven historical saga set in Greece at the end
of WWII and on the verge of the Greek Civil War. Fans of Ariel
Lawhon's books about little-known history will love this sweeping,
multigenerational story of familial love and loyalty against all
odds. Corfu, 1946: Living in a poor village in northern Greece,
10-year-olds Marco and Katerina are the best of friends. But as
their country erupts into war, the two are separated: Katerina's
family flees on foot, desperate to find somewhere safe. Marco is
sent to one of Queen Frederica's children's villages, her defiant
stance against the incoming communists. At their final goodbye,
Katerina and Marco promise to find their way back to the village,
and to each other. This haunting childhood vow launches events that
will take decades to unravel. Where the Wandering Ends beautifully
blends real Corfiot history with Greek mythology. Spanning multiple
decades, this heart-breaking yet uplifting story reminds us of the
tenacity of those who have lost everything and the enduring power
of home. "[A] magically crafted story combining history and
mythology." -Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author.
