highly recommend

Great story. A bit predictable in the end, but the human story was well put together.

I liked everything about this book. The book itself had everything, humor, sadness, great dramatic tension. The narration was perfect.

Great story about a part of WW2 that I didn’t know anything about. really well written.

Compelling and heart-wrenching, "Once We Were Here" is a powerful work of historical fiction. The characters are richly developed and deeply human, pulling you into their world from the very first page. Christopher Cosmos offers a fresh and poignant perspective on the war, weaving a story filled with emotion and depth. This novel will leave you feeling joy, hope, and profound heartache. The narration is exceptional, bringing the story vividly to life.

The story of Konstantinos Koukidis and other Greeks who battled both Italians and Germans during WWII is truly inspirational. I was able to go to Greece the year before listening to this book. It really helped me understand the heart of these noble men and women who bravely resisted tyranny.

The story of the Greeks' resistance to the Nazi army is very inspiring and something Americans need to understand. I liked the narrator's use of accents when reading.

Pleasently surprised!!! I really njoyed this book.

Dynamic novel full of action and Greek history and nature. The narrator sounded rather Russian which was disappointing.

Lovely book full of love for Greece. The narrator has a nice voice but it was painful to hear his 0 knowlege of Greece and Greeks. With his fake Russian-like accent he didn't bother to do a minimal check on how names and words are pronounced. Most annoying was how he read the most important word in the book OXI in Greek, pronounced "Ochi", like he was reading English with X. But again the book is really nice.

a bit too slow for my liking

Such a moving story with beautifully descriptive characters. Only the narration was lacking. Many of the Greek words and names were pronounced incorrectly .
