Olympia's Dream

Autor Milton Johanides
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2019
No 2 in The Cypriot's Treasure series. When her father and twin brother have to run away to save their lives, Olympia is left alone to confront gangsters, Nazis and an international drug haul. The glamorous Hollywood starlet Claudette Taylor is there to assist, but can she be trusted? Growing up fast, Olympia must learn what really matters in life. Fame and fortune, which she believes should be hers by right, seem to elude her and she finds herself instead compelled to look after desperate orphans in impossible conditions. She falls for the son of a criminal warlord but knows he would make a poor match. True love remains in her dreams, but how will she ever meet the right man in the middle of a war? And once entangled in the shenanigans of the gangster family, how can she possibly escape unharmed? Olympia's Dream picks up the tale of the Papayiannises where The Funked-Up Artist leaves off but is a story complete in itself. A heart-stopping romance set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world where loyalties cannot be taken for granted, every step of Olympia's journey is fraught with peril and disappointment.

Notă biografică

In Olympia's Dream Milton creates the character of a young girl pulled in different directions by the forces of family love, by ambition and by the wiles of men. The same themes are present here as in the first in the series of The Cypriot's Treasure, that is God, religion, politics, love and vengeance. The location is the Eastern Mediterranean, in particular Greece and Cyprus, and the timeline stretches from the beginning of the second world war to its end. As in The Funked-Up Artist there is the sense that heroic individuals can make epic differences to the trajectory of history and in that sense Olympia is a hero of her time as well as a symbol for the growing consciousness of women in general, emancipating themselves and finding roles that are defined by their own dreams.
