‘Aphrodite! The name has always struck me as perfectly fitting for my wonderful mother.’

Aphrodite Krishnamurti’s life is a testament to resilience, love, and transformation. From the sun-drenched days of Doxato, Greece, to the bustling high streets of Kavala, her childhood was filled with laughter and imagination. Despite the upheavals of the Second World War that engulfed Greece during this period, Aphrodite faced every challenge with unwavering dignity.

Love found her in the form of a young Indian medical officer, P. V. Krishnamurti, whose arrival on Greek shores marked the beginning of a new chapter. Her life spanned three continents, and she navigated each with composure and confidence. Her deep bond with her daughter, rooted in unwavering support and encouragement, is the heart of this story. This book delves into the enduring power of a mother’s love, and a unique mother-daughter relationship that has only deepened over time.
