Little Marcos returns to the 20th century Santorini, many years after his last visit. He is now a teenager who will come face to face with the story of Life itself; a story which flows ceaselessly forming circles... He will learn that love and friendship are two interwoven knots. In those magical places - a precious gift to the unique island of Santorini by Natureʼs own mania Marcos will learn how much Loveʼs waiting hurts; he will love the blindness of Hope, he will feel the flow of Time stretching like a string right through his very heart, carrying him into another time... when Love had no Facebook profile and Friendship could not be measured by the number of likes.
This novel is a hymn to childhood innocence and male bonding and its mutation to the adult, wounded Love which makes no distinctions between rich and poor, young and old. Grandpa Marcos in 1940, his father Stavros in the 1970ʼs and little Marcos at the end of the ʽ90ʼs all tangled in an inextricable love story with the same ending-just like the secrets hidden in the sunset and those kept by the mysterious traveler of his childhood; the man with the guitar, at the Castle of Oia...
