Eleni
Description:
in 1948, in a Greek mountain village, Eleni Garzoyiannis was arrested, tortured and shot. Her crime was that she had helped her children to escape the Communist guerrillas during the Greek Civil War. Her son, Nicholas Gage, then age eight, eventually reached America where he became on of the New York Times' best investigative reporters, returning to Greece as its chief correspondent in 1977. Gradually, but obsessively, he began to reconstruct his mother's life and death. By the time he was finished, he was ready to confront both his mother's executioners and his own memories. Eleni is the story of that search.
