This stunning debut novel, The Clover House, brings to life World War II-era and modern-day Greece—and tells the story of a vibrant family and the tragic secret kept hidden for generations.

A rare treat: an elegantly written debut about a family mystery set during wartime, the slipperiness of memory and the challenges of forgiveness. . . Read it, read it!

Sharply observed and evocative, THE CLOVER HOUSE is a riveting story about desire, the cost of silence, and the power of a hidden secret from the past to change everything about the present. Henriette Lazaridis Power blends the stark, at times brutal, truths of war-torn Greece with the heady rush of Carnival into a brilliantly realized story. . . This debut is a gem.

Layered and complex, THE CLOVER HOUSE is a provocative examination of family secrets and the things we inherit, a powerful search for self that feels both unique and universal... One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
