Kostoumia - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Kostas grows up in the shadow of violence. Leaving a trail of family trauma behind him, he leaves war scarred Cyprus for 1970s Britain, chasing a fresh start in a bustling seaside resort.

But the chaos of easy money and bad decisions proves as damaging as anything he left behind. As Britain lurches through economic crisis and cultural upheaval, Kostas’ secrets and compulsions quietly rip through the people closest to him. His wife Chrissie fights to keep the family afloat, reinventing their struggling shop, Kostoumia, as an edgy punk outlet, while his sister Sofia and daughter Eleni live with the consequences of choices they never made.

Spanning 70 years, this is a fast paced emotionally charged story of migration, subculture, and the damage we cause without meaning to. It asks whether love and kinship can survive when the past won’t stay buried and when the person doing the harm seems powerless to prevent it.

This sunbed page turner will resonate with anyone who loves rich family sagas about war, migration, and the secrets we keep from those we love.
