"Планы Побега" (полный вариант)
Мой отец утонул в Эгейском море, пятьдесят морских миль к северо-востоку от порта Пирей. Когда это произошло, моя мать и я находились дома в Торонто. В Греции был ранний вечер, а для нас - послеобеденное время, и я был в школе, когда она узнала об этом. Нико Кириакос, потенциальный наследник гибнущего флота Калипсо, всегда подозревал, что на него лежит проклятие. После его внезапного исчезновения его жена Анна и дочь Зоя остаются без опоры. Без привязки они начинают испытывать границы своей жизни, борясь с проблемами верности, идентичности и тем, что значит быть семьей. Охватывая годы и пролегая путь от Ниагарских водопадов до Греции, "Планы Побега" бесстрашно рассматривают связи, которые объединяют нас, и то, что разделяет нас. Bespeak Audio Editions представляет канадские голоса миру с аудиокнижными изданиями некоторых величайших произведений литературы страны, исполняемыми канадскими актерами.

You're not familiar with this title? Here's a synopsis: My father drowned fifty nautical miles off the coast of Athens, when his ship, the Calypso, drifted off course near the Portuguese island of Lagoa. During this time, I was studying in Canada while my mother was with her brother.
Niko, by way of proxy, had been looking to assume control of the struggling vessel ; previously, he had been offered the captain's position in place of his angry brother, instead pursuing climbing the hierarchy to take the family firm into his own hands. Niko's sudden disappearance left behind his young wife and single mother, Zoe. Unable to contact him and presumed dead, they now find themselves marooned, paradoxically drifting from the familiar into a new form of life.
Escape Plans features both sides of this tale through the point of view of Zoe, the woman who asserts herself by choice and takes on responsibilities outside of her damaged role in Niko'S life, observing the struggles of the survivors as she adapts to her new environment, while in parallel the book traces the connection between Zoe and her father as he ranges from obscurity to infamy, ultimately testing her destiny in the shadow of time and self.

Описание книги от Teri Vlassopoulos
My father drowned in the Aegean Sea, fifty nautical miles northeast of the port of Piraeus. When it happened, my mother and I were at home in Toronto. It was early evening in Greece, afternoon for us, and I was at school when she found out. Niko Kiriakos, tentative heir to the ailing Calypso Shipping fleet, always suspected he was cursed. Following his sudden disappearance, his wife, Anna, and daughter, Zoe, are left adrift. Unmoored, they begin to test the boundaries of their lives, struggling with issues of loyalty, identity and what it means to be a family. Spanning years and tracing a route from Niagara Falls to Greece, Escape Plans is an unblinking look at the ties that bind us together and the things that pull us apart. Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country's greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.
