university town rich in Afro-Cuban culture, where her mother's sister, a music scholar, lives and where she will raise her child mentored by these three older women-aunt, mother, and Osiris. Years later, Zé's son, Petros, has become a world-class musician bridging Cuban and Greek traditions, while Zé has become a scholar herself. When a recording executive invites Petros to give concerts in Greece, Zé seeks permission from the authorities to leave the island and accompany him. Secretly-a secret they guard from the authorities and her father, now a Party stalwart-they both nourish the hope of somehow finding Petros's father and Zé's one great, lost love. With echoes of the breakout novel that made Zoé Valdés an international literary star, A Greek Love is a tale of passion, endurance, and hope-and a woman's tenacious love.
