During the Second World War, a young boy is rescued from the mud in Poland by an unlikely saviour, the scientist Athos Roussos, and he is taken to Greece, then, at war's end, to Toronto. This is a novel about the legacies of war, the connections forged between generations, the process of memory, and the redemptive powers of love.
