"Anna is Nikola's mom and wherever she is she will give birth to another boy. But because of the junta that has been enforced and the special situation of the family with the militant mom, her much older dad and a bunch uncles and aunts who won't stop talking, the boy who is about to be born decides to nestle under the mother's heart and not come out, except when he feels that he will be free to do whatever he wants!
From there he tells us seven years of military rule, struggles against the junta, fear and courage, but also of many small, wonderful family moments.

Eve of April 21, 1967. Anna (who we know from the author's novels Under the Moon, In High School and One One Four) is pregnant and lives with Panos, her husband, his ten-year-old son from a previous marriage and their two-year-old son in Kastela. A family far from conventional for that time. And if we include in all this the sister-in-law (whom Anna calls the "Seal Keeper"), Panos' big family, Anna's explosive and uncompromising character, but also the refusal of the fetus to come out of his mother's womb until he junta that settles in Greece is gone, then we have an original mix of realism, humor and true life that will fascinate any reader interested in that era.

In the fourth and last book of Anna's informal tetralogy, the narrator is the heroine's unborn baby, who tells us everything that happens inside and outside the house, while at the same time commenting and philosophizing.


Another book with heroine Anna, during the years of the dictatorship. Affection relations seen from "inside", from a fetus that narrates, comments, philosophizes and... It resists the junta. "
