Book Description Paperback. Veronique Loublier decides to spend some time in Thessaloniki, trying to understand what her father was doing in Greece when he died. She begins to pick up the threads of the mysterious story of her grandfather, Pascal, who disappeared during the Greek Junta of 1967. Pascal's story has haunted Veronique's family for 30 years. In Thessaloniki she meets Theo Philippidis, a Greek Australian; the Philippidis family has its own war ghosts. While Theo becomes increasingly addicted to Veronique, she grows distant and erratic. The story of the enigmatic Pascal begins to take over her life. Love in the Land of Midas is the powerful story of a search for truth and reconciliation. The legends of the Greek myths are diffused with the complicated history of the Balkans in a story that sweeps the reader into the lives of an unforgettable cast of characters.
