"Loxandra" is not just a biography, nor just a novel. In this captivating text, which became a sensation from the moment it was first released by "Estia" publications, real and fictional characters merge to recreate the image of the City before the First World War. Maria Iordanidou wrote the book in 1963, when she was already sixty-six years old, because - she said - she did not want to take these few things she knew with her. "Loxandra" is the story of her grandmother: through her, Maria Iordanidou revives an entire era, even "now, when all these things have passed and the grass of forgetfulness begins to sprout."
