John Charalambous

Cypriot migrant Haralambos Stylianou crosses the world to plant his personal flag. He marries Carol, fathers Angela and Andy, and rules a quarter-acre kingdom in suburban Melbourne. Without doubt he is a tyrant, but ten-year-old Andy figures 'all fathers must be part ogre, part child, part Zeus in the clouds - or all Greek fathers'. The question only becomes urgent when he senses that his peculiar little family is on the brink of collapse. His sister Angela, a fourteen-year-old theorist, has decided that men and women should live separately, girls with their mothers, boys with their fathers. His mother Carol is waiting for the advent of no fault divorce, when she will shuck off Harry Stylianou and all his crazy bullying, and live in peace. But Andy has a melodramatic mind and suspects that it could as easily end in murder. If only he could subdue his father's rage. If only he could charm the knife from his pocket. He's sure these are impossible wishes, until one summer's day in 1974 a miraculous Greek voice pierces the surrounding Anglosphere - promising to put the kingdom right.

Two Greeks is a story about mentoring, delusion and a child's need to trust.
