Description

An intimate portrait of Yanis Varoufakiss political awakening, told through the history of his extraordinary family

'Gripping and unforgettable. It reads like a thriller BRIAN ENO

Dramatic in scope and deep in feeling, Raise Your Soul traces three generations swept up in the whirlwind of history, across a century of occupation, civil war, Cold War fracture and economic crisis, from 1924 to the present.

At its heart are Eleni, Anna, Trisevgeni, Georgia and Danaė the women who shaped the visionary economist most, and whose resilience and courage inspire us to resist the forces of authoritarianism that still haunt our world.

Written with a historians grasp of events, an economists rationalisation of how things work and, most of all, a storytellers understanding of the human condition, this is not just Varoufakiss story, but ours IRVINE WELSH

'Beautiful and inspiring, I couldn't put it down' ROSIE HOLT

'Fierce ... to sit with Varoufakiss words is a gift' ESTHER ANATOLITIS
