A moving saga about love and survival, Dust of a Day is the story of a Greek family's struggles through a hundred years of wars and rebellions, population exchanges, and massacres. Elizabeth, matriarch of a family in flight, leads her charges with determination, bent on ensuring they enjoy a brighter future, while the loyal servant girl Sophie guards her secrets for almost a century. Through the original family's trials and tribulations-and then through the eyes of their children, and their children-the entire twentieth century unrolls, along with the new generation's journey toward redemption, love, and happiness.
