Martina Bogdahn entführt mit ihrem Roman in zwei unterschiedliche Welten. Maria eilt ihrer Mutter zu Hilfe, als ihr Vater verunglückt. Dadurch wird sie nicht nur in die Probleme der alten Eltern hineingerissen, sondern auch in die Erinnerungen an ihre Kindheit in der Mühle. Schafft sie es eine neue Zukunft für sich und ihre Familie, ihren Bruder und ihre Eltern aufzubauen? Nachdenklich, berührend und positiv. Lesenswert. 

Ithaca is haunted by a deadly curse. Every year twelve women must die to guarantee Ithaca's safety and health. Leto is one of these girls. And she dies. This is how this book starts. All twelve bodies were washed up at the shores of an island, but Leto awoke, and she was not alone.  Melantho has been on the island for decades and buries all the dead girls that arrive each year. Leto seems to be just like her. Together they try to break Ithaca's curse and free themselves. Are the sacrifices they must overcome worth a life where they can live happily ever after?  Everyone who loved “The song of Achilles” will find a female version of it in this book. Greek mythology, love (-triangle) and two very strong, independent main characters.   I loved reading this book and fell in love not only with the characters but also with Sarah Underwoods writing style.
