The Ability to Breathe

A captivating novella about father and son, a windy island, and the art of forgiveness.

A young man arrives in a wintery Greece in search of his father, who disappeared years ago. The journey leads to a remote and secluded island where a small hermit community lives in harmony with nature, breathing into the rhythm of the seasons. As winter turns to spring, father and son sit at the foot of an olive tree, and slowly some of the weight on their shoulders begins to ease.
