About the Book
Set in the countryside near Athens in the years before the Second World War, Three Summers is a warm, insightful coming-of-age novel that follows the lives of three sisters over the course of three memorable summers.
Maria is passionate and impulsive, Infanta is beautiful and reserved, and Katerina, a dreamer and the novel's observer struggles to understand both the mysterious world of adults and her own place within it. As the sisters navigate friendships, first loves, family tensions and the changing rhythms of village life, they begin to imagine the women they might one day become.
Filled with vivid descriptions of sun-drenched landscapes and everyday moments, Margarita Liberaki's beloved classic captures the joys, uncertainties and discoveries of youth with warmth and charm. Often described as both nostalgic and timeless, Three Summers is a beautifully observed portrait of family, sisterhood and growing up.
Celebrated by readers and critics alike, it remains one of the most cherished works of modern Greek literature, a novel rich in atmosphere, humanity and the light of a long Greek summer.
