Justice is a Tough Cookie

A female student cuts short her studies in Athens and returns to her family in Chania, Crete. Accidentally, she discovers one of her grandfather's documents and delves deeper and deeper into his life and the recent history of the city. Why and how did the Germans remain in Chania till June 1945? Why did the Germans, under British orders, enforce law and order during May and June 1945 after the official surrender of Germany? This is a book about history and its narration, about the events and how they affect our everyday life, about the individual and one's place in the world; about the dialectics of simple and complex facts, individualism and collectivity, public and private life, justice and injustice, yesterday and today. The novel Justice is a Tough Cookie, although complete, could be considered the second part of a trilogy in progress with the general title In the Line of Myth and History, its first part being The Innocent and the Guilty.
