Welcome fellow book lovers. Pauline Hager's new book Giorgi's Greek Tragedy is now available.

Placed in the rugged Taygetos Mountains in the Peloponnese peninsula of Southern Greece, "Giorgi's Greek Tragedy" tells of The Ottoman Turkish Empire's occupation of Greece from 1790-1829. Agents of the sultan's elite Janissary Corps murder Giorgi's parents. Seeking revenge, he joins the outlawed Greek freedom fighters. Ensconced in deep caves, the fighters live and train to battle the Turks. Far below in the valleys, overtaxed and overworked peasants toil in the fields. The story comprises the lives of three generations of a family and of the cruel treatment inflicted upon them by the Turks. Love of family, love between a man and woman, and Giorgi's love of country are recurring themes in this poignant tale.

"Pauline Hager writes with stunning visual language that will sweep you away to Japan and Greece in her two books, the first is a memoir and the second is a novel. Hager's vivid and beautifully written words make you feel like you are right there. Enjoy!"
