The Real Plato Jones

Plato Jones, his name reflecting Greek mother and Welsh father, finds himself in between - his separated parents, his two countries and his two families. In Greece, for his Greek grandfather's funeral, he's immersed first in the life of his mother's family and then in the past. His Welsh grandfather had been here in the war and become a hero, while his Greek grandfather turns out to have been regarded as a traitor during that same time. Discovering the realities of the past and caught up in a dramatic battle against a forest fire which threatens the village and its life-sustaining olive-crop, Plato is able to contain both worlds and both grandfathers inside his own skin.
