The Green Shore by Natalie Bakopoulos

4.0

A beautifully written novel about a part of history I knew very little about. The book follows a family's experiences during the time surrounding the Greek coup d'etat in 1967. I enjoyed the descriptive insights into the local culture and traditions. It starts a bit slow, but follow through, because it definitely picks up and becomes quite engaging. The characters are well-developed and the topic seems well-researched. There isn't much of a true plot, but the book appears to be more character-driven rather that plot-driven. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, and I would like to read more books by this author in the future.
