Theodor Kallifatides, an acclaimed Greek author exiled in Sweden for
more than 4 decades at age 68, visits his 92-year-old mother, who still
resides in Athens. Both know that this may be one of their last
encounters before her death. During the week they spend together, they
reminisce about the most important things in their lives, including the
presence and absence of Theodor's father, whose life story he is reading.
There, his father explains his difficult journey, from his origins as a Greek
exile in Turkey through his months in a Nazi prison, and his passion for
teaching. All this reveals the history of a family through the 20th century.
But Kallifatides's book is above all a wonderful tribute to the love of his
mother, depicted in an unforgettable way, while conveying a universal
truth about the importance of our mothers.
