Christina Papakosta

A woman who did not experience a carefree youth. A romance that arrived unexpectedly, at the wrong time. When she attempts to make up for lost time and reclaim the life she never lived, she must pay the price. The series' protagonist—a Greek refugee from Odessa—married a much older man at sixteen and had a son with him. He constantly cheated on her and eventually left her for a younger woman. She raised her son on her own and, now forty-five, has finally got her life in order.

Eleni, Kyriakos and their four children live in a small house in Pagrati. Kyriakos works in the Municipality of Athens as a gardener. Eleni works as a cashier in a supermarket. She loves her husband and her children and faces daily difficulties with humor. When, however, she learns that Kyriakos is not only taking care of the plants, but also the body of a rich and fancy widow, Eleni turns from a sheep into a bull and decides to take revenge. And he takes it in various ways, moral and immoral, legitimate and unjust, comic and tragic.
