An intimate portrait of Yanis Varoufakis’s 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 Danaë – 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 historian’s grasp of events, an economist’s rationalisation of how things work and, most of all, a storyteller’s understanding of the human condition, this is not just Varoufakis’s story, but ours’ IRVINE WELSH
'Beautiful and inspiring, I couldn't put it down' ROSIE HOLT
'Fierce ... to sit with Varoufakis’s words is a gift' ESTHER ANATOLITIS
