In the month of two moons, when the blue moon shines in the sky, the Fates spin the thread of life.
On such a night, Marouso comes into the world. Thus begins the adventure of her life—a life of many twists and turns, in which calm follows the storm, light follows darkness, and laughter alternates with tears.
Marouso’s story begins in 1830, in the depths of Anatolia, in distant and enchanting Cappadocia. It passes through bustling Constantinople and cosmopolitan Smyrna, through Volos and Mount Pelion, before reaching the majestic mountains of the Pindus range, where Thessaly embraces Epirus.
Marouso is an enigmatic heroine whose past lies buried in the darkness of oblivion. Her present is illuminated by her love for people and for life. Her future remains uncertain, like fate itself, as it weaves its designs.
The mysterious Marousiana from I Was Growing Up for You takes centre stage in this novel as the young Marouso, embarking on a journey as she struggles to unravel the mysteries of her own life.
