Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Olive Leaves is a collection of ten short stories set across Greece, moving between the islands and the streets of Athens, between old houses and the lives that pass through them. These are stories about the people who leave and the ones who stay, the houses that hold memory long after their owners have gone, and the love that surfaces again when least expected.A woman returns to a stone house on Kythera shuttered for forty years. Three sisters spend a summer making marmalade and reopening every argument they thought they had buried. A legendary singer prepares to face an audience she walked away from decades ago. Two young lovers on an Athenian rooftop make a decision that will shape the rest of their lives. On a rocky shore, six women wade into the sea together, as they have done every summer, and remember everything they have survived.Stuart R. Fleming writes with warmth, precision and a deep feeling for the moments when an ordinary life quietly turns. The Greece he writes about is not the Greece of postcards. It is the Greece of kitchens and harbour walls, of old houses and inherited silences, of families who love each other badly and faithfully and with great persistence.Stories about the places we choose, the people we carry with us, and the places that, in the end, seem to choose us.
