Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa are two enormous lakes connected by subterranean waterways, with profound significance for Kapka Kassabova's maternal family. As she embarks on a journey to her grandmother's birthplace, Kassabova traverses a crossroads of civilizations. Nestled within the mountainous borderlands of North Macedonia, Albania, and Greece, the Lakes are adorned by the ancient Roman road, the Via Egnatia. Once a bustling hub of trade and spirituality, it stands as one of the oldest surviving religious melting pots in Eurasia. These lakes, characterized by their remote rock churches, fluctuating currents, and abundant birdlife, exist in their own timeless realm. Through the exploration of the stories of past and present inhabitants, Kassabova uncovers the intricate tapestry of human history woven by these lakes. Her journey then deepens into a profound inquiry into the interplay between geography and politics, raising thought-provoking questions about human suffering and the potential for transformation.
