Kronos (The Devine Sagas)

Laurie Devine
4.12/5 (5 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Kronos is a passionate, powerful contemporary Greek tragedy centered on a wily Greek beauty who is loved by two brothers – one a leftist leader and the other a rightwing colonel – whose intertwined lives paint a fraught multi-generational family saga of contemporary Greece. The unforgettable beauty of the azure Aegean and Greece’s rugged mountains provide the exotic background for a story of primitive passions harkening back to ancient times. The storytelling begins in a women’s cave of remembrance carved many millennia ago but still alive with love that never dies.

Kronos—in this, its debut publishing in the United States—is part of the five-volume Devine Sagas by the award-winning American author Laurie Devine. Kronos was an international bestseller when first published in 1991 in London. Along with the other standalone novels in this series—Nile, Saudi, Crescent, Kronos and Cypress—these family sagas were written and published 1979-1994, some by Simon & Schuster in New York and all by Andre Deutsch in London. Now, in 2024, for the first time they are being published in digital editions and all will be available everywhere by December, 2024, on Amazon Kindle.

These novels all rest soundly on history and are fictional stories modeled on the lives of real people—especially women of the developing world—and aim to tell the deepest truths behind headlines. Their blood and guts are reflections of real human suffering. So are their heartfelt emotions of love, shame, hate, healing, and forgiveness, which lie at the birth of history.

In Kronos, Marika of the blue-black hair is a charismatic and indominable modern Greek woman beloved by maybe one too many young village bloods. Christos, the left-winger with star power and a big heart, is on the losing side of the Greek Civil War after the Nazi Occupation and immigrates to Boston where he never stops yearning for his lost love. Yorgos, the right-wing brother, becomes one of the powerful colonels in the Greek junta and almost but never quite wins Marika. Looming between the brothers, whose lives play out not only in the shadows and allure of Athens but also among the strong and resilient Greek community of America, is Marika’s most deeply held secret. Which of the brothers is the father of her beloved son Nikos?

This classic, satisfying saga abounds with joy, deceit, betrayals, seething emotion and the wild and sensual rhythms of this country held so dear by so many. What is Greece really like? Its Zorba dancing and hearty taverna fare and the Aegean—that oh-so-beautiful sea—births not only deep romantic passion but also the ancient legacy for philosophic greatness, and ethical struggles for the goodness that can become life’s richest treasure. The story of Marika is not only centered on a woman who inspires undying love but also on a woman who develops the will and the courage to become a true hero of her time and her place.
