In our time, where society shows its most cruel and hateful face, Ioanna Lazarou's book "For you who left early" comes as a cry of despair but also an exhortation for a necessary fight against violence, abuse and trivialization of human personality, and especially the female one.
Three tragic figures, each because of his own personality, move in a true story that begins in the dark years of the occupation with relentless war, pain, tears, hardships with non-existent values and the law of the strong to be imposed. And it is a fact that such a situation works destructively not only for the material goods of the citizens, but mainly for their souls and feelings. Eleni tries to survive in a mountain village, in this society, without love and with insurmountable obstacles in her life. Fortune seems to be smiling on her at times. After the turmoil of the war, her marriage to Petros, the man she loved, offers her unexpected happiness. The young couple moves to Athens and begins a new life. However, this love quickly turns into a nightmare, due to the daily mistreatment and inhumanity she faces... And unfortunately, their daughter Annoula also walks in the same footsteps. The little girl's life also becomes a nightmare. The FATHER with his perverted tyrannical character creates unpredictable and bloody events. The tragedy continues!…
Is it fate that pursues mother and daughter, is it… “destiny run away impossible”? NO, because such an excuse is suitable only for those who are comfortable in a painful reality. But for those who still maintain humanity and the ability to consider, this reality must and can change.. Dealing with such tragic events, which has become a daily routine, seeks the response of those who have the power to react effectively.
This book, which is the first part of a powerful trilogy of life - as the author herself mentions - is written with awareness, with deep feelings of love and understanding for Man, but also with a desire to awaken consciousness. Ioanna Lazarou's smooth style of describing a true life story captivates the reader and captivates him. This tragic story continues, just as the same phenomena continue as a nightmare of our time. Let's hope for a change, which will, perhaps, also make this story have a happy outcome. We wait with hope… no more tears!
