ΓΥΡΙΣΜΟΣ – HOME

1950s America. Frank Money joins the army to escape the too small world of the southern city where he grew up, leaving behind his cherished and fragile little sister, Cee. The Korean war shatters him, fills him with guilts and drives him into apathy. His life has no purpose until he hears that Cee is in danger.

Frank is a modern Odysseus returning to America of racism, mined with racial hatred and prejudice, with lethal pitfalls similar to a battlefield. As he journeys to his native Georgia in search of Cee, it becomes clear that their troubles began well before their wartime separation. Together, they return to their rural hometown of Lotus, where buried secrets are unearthed and where Frank learns at last what it means to be a man, what it takes to heal, and–above all–what it means to come home.

Α moving novel for a defeated man that finds again his courage, his manhood and his land.

Translucent and intense, brutal but also deeply humane…
