Όλα τα Δέντρα

A meeting at a party becomes a flirtation, which becomes a fall, which becomes a relationship, which becomes a trip, which becomes an archive, which becomes a book—and ultimately a way of thinking about desire, intimacy and distance, separation, memory, and storytelling.

In Όλα τα δέντρα, Maria Fakinou explores a contemporary love story that could be any contemporary love story. With intensity and precision, she delves into the heroine’s inner life, tracing the emotional and linguistic shifts brought about by falling in love.

As memory, desire, and narrative intertwine, the boundaries between experience and storytelling begin to blur. The result is an intimate and compelling exploration of what happens when love becomes both a lived experience and a story we try to preserve.

Tender, restless, and emotionally incisive, the novel examines the wounds left by love—and the human impulse to return to them, again and again, in an attempt to understand what happened.
