A brief summary of the book:
A moving saga about love and survival, Dust of a Day is the story of a Greek family’s struggles through a hundred years of wars and rebellions, population exchanges, and massacres. Elizabeth, matriarch of a family in flight, leads her charges with determination, bent on ensuring they enjoy a brighter future, while the loyal servant girl Sophie guards her secrets for almost a century. Through the original family’s trials and tribulations—and then through the eyes of their children, and their children—the entire twentieth century unrolls, along with the new generation’s journey toward redemption, love, and happiness.
