520    "Thessaloniki, Greece, 1917: As Dimitri Komninos is born, 
       a fire sweeps through the thriving multicultural city 
       where Christians, Jews, and Muslims live side by side. It 
       is the first of many catastrophic events that will forever
       change this place and its people. Five years later, as the
       Turkish army pushes west through Asia Minor, young 
       Katerina loses her mother in the crowd of refugees 
       clambering for boats to Greece. Landing in Thessaloniki's 
       harbor, she is at the mercy of strangers in an unknown 
       city. For the next eighty years, the lives of Dimitri and 
       Katerina will be entwined with each other and-through Nazi
       occupation, civil war, persecution, and economic collapse-
       with the story of their homeland. Thessaloniki, Greece, 
       2007: A young Anglo-Greek hears his grandparents' 
       remarkable story for the first time and understands he has
       a decision to make. For decades, Dimitri and Katerina have
       looked after the treasures of those who have been forced 
       from their beloved city. Should he stay and become their 
       new custodian?"--P. [4] of cover.
