The Olive Pit
by Olha Kupriyan
Description
In search of a better life, the ancient Greek family travels from Miletus to Tyras, distant Black Sea regions, where there are already several Greek settlements. His grandmother stayed in Miletus and gave him a bag of olives for the journey. In the new place, the ancient culture is intertwined with the local one, the steppe culture. What is it like to travel for a long time in the sea into the unknown? Which part of home can be brought with you? What will remain only a poignant memory? This life-affirming story will give parents support to help their children experience complex emotions: homesickness, anxiety, boredom.
