Kad čempresi šapuću

Kad čempresi šapuću

Yvette Manessis Corporon

The novel is a moving story of family, love and the discovery of secrets, set on the Greek island of Erikousi. “An unforgettable story about what it truly means to love and be loved…” Maria Menounos

Daphne, the daughter of Greek immigrants in New York, is a single mother who runs a restaurant and fights for a better life for her daughter Evie. Her fondest memories are of her childhood spent on Erikousa with her grandmother, ya-ya Evangelina, with Greek myths, cooking and the magical atmosphere of the island. After six difficult years and the loss of her husband, Daphne returns to the island looking for a new beginning.

On Erikousa, she clashes with Yanni, a mysterious local man with whom she initially cannot stand, but their tension grows into intimacy due to frequent encounters and his connection to ya-ya. Evangelina reveals to Daphne her life story, filled with love, courage and a tragic family secret passed down through generations. This secret, together with Yanni's past, changes Daphne's perspective on life and relationships. The novel explores themes of loyalty, forgiveness and the strength of family ties, while Daphne questions her relationship with her fiancé Stephen and her future on the island.

Through vivid descriptions of the Greek landscape, myths, and culture, Corporon creates a warm yet layered story that goes beyond the classic romance novel. According to reviews (e.g. Goodreads, Knjižara Znanje), the work has been praised for its emotional depth and authenticity, with an emphasis on Ya-Yi's wisdom and the island as a symbol of renewal. Daphne's struggle to balance the past and the future makes the novel universally moving.
