My Beloved Thessaloniki, Greece
Charleston, SC, July 31, 2024 – An astounding World War II-era novel, My Beloved Thessaloniki, Greece, hits shelves in late summer of 2024, telling the story of the famous and powerful resistance movement in Nazi-occupied Greece.
Alexandros lives with his wife and young son in Thessaloniki, studying philosophy and languages at the University. When Alexandros’s professor begins to involve him in the resistance against Nazi Germany, he and his loved ones soon become caught up in a world of espionage and intrigue. With Nazi hunters closing in, Alexandros must maintain a desperate balance of appearances while his family flees for their survival. With love, duty, safety, and their very lives hanging in the balance, Alexandros must eventually face a terrible choice that will change all of their lives forever.
My Beloved Thessaloniki, Greece is a brilliant, whirlwind novel that speaks to the very real courage that stood watch over the Mediterranean during the second World War. With a personal connection to the story, Dr. Jennie Kritou DiBartolomeo, author, weaves a riveting tale that blends heart-pounding spy tropes with pinpoint historical accuracy. Based on the factual Greek underground resistance movement, one of the most successful opponents to any Nazi occupation, the book tells the story of the freedom fighters known as the andartes—men and women who came to reclaim much of Greece by the end of the war.
With thrills, philosophy, and a fully lived-in culture, DiBartolomeo’s writing has brought to life one of the most immersive and narratively satisfying historical fiction novels in recent years. For fans of novels like All the Light We Cannot See and films such as Dunkirk, My Beloved Thessaloniki, Greece will be an enthusiastically welcome addition to the bookshelf or Kindle library.
