But will the love they shared all those years ago bring them together or will it tear them apart? And when Eleni ends up back in Crete to help with the resistance movement, she soon discovers that Otto is there too. But four years later, the Second World War rages and the two of them no longer keep in touch. When Otto meets Eleni he’s attracted to her too and the pair end up spending the rest of their summer together and falling in love.
