Three sisters, three summers . . . This coming-of-age novel offers a “sweet, light, and dreamy escape” to one of Athens’ oldest suburbs before WW2 (Lit Hub).
 
“Following Woolf, [Liberaki] captures life as it is lived in small ‘moments of being,’ especially of female domestic rituals.” —Electric Literature
Three Summers is the story of three sisters growing up in the countryside near Athens before the Second World War. Living in a big old house surrounded by a beautiful garden are Maria, the oldest sister, as sexually bold as she is eager to settle down and have a family of her own; beautiful but distant Infanta; and dreamy and rebellious Katerina, through whose eyes the story is mostly observed.
 
Over three summers, the girls share and keep secrets, fall in and out of love, try to figure out their parents and other members of the tribe of adults, take note of the weird ways of friends and neighbors, worry about and wonder who they are. Now back in print after twenty years, Karen Van Dyck’s translation captures all the light and warmth of this modern Greek classic.
