Daughter of a good Athenian family, Rosa was born rebellious, as evidenced by the fiery red of her hair, although many attributed her disobedient character to the fact that she had been raised with inappropriate freedom, having a mother who was confined to her own world and a father who was a careless bon vivant. The young aristocrat will shock her family when she falls in love with Harry, a poor medical student from the recently Turkish-occupied areas of Macedonia, during the summer of 1914. While the First World War rages on and Athens, her city, and all of Greece are torn apart by the division caused by the rift between Constantine and Venizelos, she will embrace Venizelism, disregarding her pro-royalist origins, and will walk on dangerous paths, winning from her fellow citizens the ironic nickname of "the mistress of the Turkomemriti".

The life of a bold and extraordinary woman in the turbulent era of the National Division and the subsequent years, who will not hesitate to give up the privileges of her social position and go against prevailing customs, following the dictates of her heart.
