Résumé

It is 1941, and Hitler's army has invaded Greece. Calliope Adham, a young, widowed schoolmistress in the village of Molyvos, is recruited by the Germans as a liaison officer.

Calliope's wartime duties bring her into contact with Lieutenant Lorenz Umbreit, and despite the backdrop of war and Calliope's involvement in the Greek Resistance, a friendship blossoms.

´Arrested Song´ spans three decades, charting Calliope's journey through war, civil conflict, and dictatorship, as she emerges as a champion for girls' and women's rights against a turbulent and beautifully rendered Greek island setting.

Irena Karafilly is an award-winning writer, poet, and author whose work has been widely published in literary and mainstream venues, including the New York Times and International Herald Tribune. Born in the Urals, educated in Canada, she now lives between Montreal and Athens.
