Wow. I don’t know what I expected out of this book but it surprised me in the best way. Following three greek women over the course of 60 years, Daughter of Ruins plumbs the depths of the hardships everyday Greek women faced in the mid 20th century.
I could not put this book down as I cried my way through the pages of heartache, triumph, setbacks, devastation, and the trials that women can endure during their lifetime. I enjoyed the coming of age narrative and the bits of history woven into the timeline, like WW2 and other lesser known historical events in Greece. It made me think of books like Pachinko, and A Thousand Splendid Suns. A must read for fans of Kristin Hannah or Marjan Kamali.
