The author lost his girlfriend in a bus accident, as Leo loses Eleni. Although the book is not autobiographical, it is written from the heart. The struggle to resume normal life after such a devestating loss is felt strongly by the reader as we follow Leo through the ensuing months.

Alongside this storyline, is a parallel tale, also based on a true journey; the walk from Siberia to Poland undertaken by the author's Grandfather during the First World War. This is an amazing tale of survival.

Both stories are motivated by love and interspersed throughout the book with sayings and pictures representing various aspects of love.
A beautifully composed book that took 5 years in its completion.
Recommended.
