The Sarinopoulous family has survived a tragedy that history has forgotten. The family is marked by war, fear and shame that cannot be erased by the idle gossip used to pass the time in the small village of Diakofto on the edge of the Peloponnese.
Alexia, a young Canadian lawyer compelled to fulfill her father’s dying wish to find the half-sister he kept from her, arrives in Diakofto to discover an extended family, a culture she knows nothing about, and a country in financial crisis. Looming over her visit and the one visit her father took twenty five years earlier is the tragedy of Kalavryta, a Second World War massacre that changed the Sarinopoulous family forever. Told in alternating voices of Alexia and Nicolai, each returning to Greece to mourn a loss and find solace, Nicolai’s Daughters uncovers the secrets and the shame that holds a family apart refusing to heal until the truth is revealed.
