Echoes in the Mist Kindle Edition

On a fateful, night, an infinite echo from another time whispers to two strangers.

Julia, an American arriving in Piraeus, is thrilled to fulfill her lifelong dream of excavating on the Acropolis—though her enthusiasm is tempered by the loss of her father, a noted authority on classical Greek pottery, during the voyage.



Meanwhile, on the dock, Stephano is informed by a man in the shadows that the courier for whom he is waiting died onboard…and the information he was carrying cannot be found.



Unbeknownst to Julia, her father was a spy for the Turks—and what he was bringing over to Greece could prove deadly if it fell into the wrong hands.



And while Stephano wants nothing to do with Western archaeologists, it is his destiny to become entangled with Julia as he and his fellow freedom fighters do what it takes to protect their country.



Despite the danger she suddenly finds herself in, Julia refuses to give up on her dreams—even as she and Stephano experience a connection that feels like an echo from the past.

I have been writing since I was a young child. I have now published five books, two were steamy western romances, one steamy historical romances, and then two serious historical novels about Greece during World War II and the Ottoman Genocide of Asia Minor.

I have been pleased to be invited for presentations on this history of Greece during the 20th century. I have done presentations at Greek Orthodox Churches, Synagogues, book groups, and adult education programs.

I love interacting with my readers and welcome their questions, reviews and inputs.

I am a native of Chicago, Illinois. I'm a world traveler who currently resides in Washington, DC and Williamsburg Virginia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Echoes in the Mist is a spellbinding historical fiction and a beautiful love story.

I would have given this book 10 stars. After reading and loving Karen Batshaw's 2 previous books, Love's Journey and Kate's Journey,which I highly recommend if you love a great historical fiction love story I was eagerly waiting for her to write another book. I am so happy she did. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful and riveting story about archeologist Julia who arrived in Piraeus, Greece, in 1878. The author is gifted with a beautiful and descriptive style of writing that transformed me right to Greece. She is a wonderful story teller and has excellent character development. This book is wonderful and another page turner. I had to find out what was going to happen next.

Ditto on what the other 2 reviewers said. I highly recommend this book.

I would like to "echo" the other reviewers. This novel is a lovely historical romance that transports the reader to 19th century Greece. Despite Julia Henderson's need to be rescued by Stephano Stenopolous she successfully struggles to fulfill her dream and becomes an archeologist. Their relationship reflects vast differences in cultures and offers insights into the dangers and politics of the period. Before reading this book, I knew nothing about the history of Greek and Turkish conflicts. I felt the ending was rushed as so many plot twists happened in the last several pages. It was a worthwhile read.

Karen Batshaw knows how to spin a tale, drawing the reader in. She makes her characters come alive. You can almost feel the sunshine and beauty she describes as well as the spirit of each character drawing you to visit Greece. Though undoubtedly not intended to be, this book feels like it is almost a prequel to Hidden in Plain Sight and Light and Shadows. I look forward to reading more books like this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Medicine for the Common Cold

I picked up Echoes in the Mist when I was home nursing a terrible summer cold. During the opening pages I wondered whether or not I would actually finish it. However as I read on I became completely enthralled with the story. I thought it was somewhat predictable; I knew from the outset that Julia would find her true love, but there were enough twists to keep me reading. I did find the ending a bit abrupt and was actually surprised it was at a close without further developments. The setting just reinforced my desire to travel to Greece.

In 1878 Julia Henderson travels to Greece to do archeology at the Acropolis with her father. On the voyage he dies and she finds herself alone in Greece but wanting to excavate. Right from the beginning of this story mystery and intrigue erupt. Julia meets and is attracted to a Greek, Stephano Stephanopolus who is also attracted to her but has secrets of his own. A fast moving, intriguing mystery begins as Julia and Stephano become involved and secrets of the archeological world unfold. The prose in this work is easy to read with a fast moving style and concise descriptions. Many passages evoke such description that one might think they were in Greece. Altghough this is a historical romance, it sheds light on the history of Greek archeology as well as chronicling the experience of a strong woman who wants both to be an archeologist and slowly gives in to romantic aspirations. If history, adventure, travel and mystery are your cup of tea< I could not recommend this book more highly.

I enjoyed this book. Although it was predictable from chapter one, it had enough other twists and turns that it stayed fairly interesting. At times it lagged a bit or I would have given it 5 stars. I really liked the two main characters as well as Yaya so it keep my interest. It was a nice twist on the standard romance novel.

Echoes in the Mist by Karen Korman Batshaw

Set in the 19th century, the period after the Independence of Greece from the yoke of the 400 year Ottoman occupation, but with vestiges in the northern part of the country that have not yet been liberated. Stefanos Stenopoulos is an educated and wealthy though highly patriotic freedom fighter who works underground to help liberate the rest of Ottoman occupied Greece working with Greece's most famous fighters. Julia is the daughter of a renowned American archeologist who travels with her father to excavate on the Acropolis in Athens. However, on their journey to Greece Julia's father dies naturally at sea. Although devastated, this leaves Julia finally free to pursue her lifelong passion to become an archeologist in her own right in times when women were not allowed to do much outside of the home. Intrigues ensue as there are questions about Julia's role in the dark forces of entanglement with the Turks, as well as competition for significant archeological discoveries. Julia's and Stephanos' lives become unexpectedly entwined, giving way to strong passions and love despite deep cultural differences.
American Julia and Greek Stephanos are both very familiar to me. I understand Julia's need to be independent and free to follow her dreams as well as Stephanos being the ultimate Greek alpha male who demands complete control of the people in his life. It's fun to watch how their relationship develops and how both are forced to make compromises to make the relationship work.
This book is highly readable, though the history lacked sufficient detail which leaves the reader with many more questions than answers. A sequel with more historical detail may complete the whole story and give us a glimpse into the development of both the country and the couple.
