On the island of Cyprus, in the small seaside town of Larnaka, three childhood friends have reunited for the funeral of Katerina, the much-loved old woman who had a profound effect on their lives. Eleni, Marianna, and Adonis grew up together, as close as siblings. Although from humble beginnings—a housemaid from the age of 13—Katerina’s love, wisdom, and guidance helped shape them all. Her loss leaves the friends bereft, but the funeral is not just a time to mourn and remember. Adonis’s mother decides that with Katerina’s death comes the time to share the family’s secrets and answer the riddles of their childhood. A story of deception, forbidden love, and undying loyalty unravels. What she reveals will change everything.
