The Mechanism of Memory

By Maria Karra

When Daphne returns to her grandfather's home on the Greek island of Lefkada, she expects memories - not a hidden mechanism buried in the basement. But when the device unlocks a note from her late grandfather, it sends her on a journey into the abandoned village he never spoke about.

What she finds there shatters everything she thought she knew: a long-buried feud, a sacrifice made in silence, and a truth powerful enough to rewrite her family's story.

As Daphne uncovers the past her grandfather protected at all costs, she must decide what to do with the truth - and how to carry the love he left behind.

A moving, atmospheric novel about family secrets, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to face the stories we inherit. Perfect for fans of The Island and The Midnight Library.
