Beschreibung des Verlags
In the summer of 1972, Famagusta in Cyprus is the most desirable resort in the Mediterranean, a city bathed in the glow of good fortune. An ambitious couple are about to open the island's most spectacular hotel, where Greek and Turkish Cypriots work in harmony. Two neighbouring families, the Georgious and the Özkans, are among many who moved to Famagusta to escape the years of unrest and ethnic violence elsewhere on the island. But beneath the city's façade of glamour and success, tension is building.
When a Greek coup plunges the island into chaos, Cyprus faces a disastrous conflict. Turkey invades to protect the Turkish Cypriot minority, and Famagusta is shelled. Forty thousand people seize their most precious possessions and flee from the advancing soldiers. In the deserted city, just two families remain. This is their story.

She's a writing talent
I was really impressed from page 1 till the end by that very interesting story focused on these two families.The story envelopes as it might really had happened and it's astonished to realize how quick and
all of a sudden life's changed for all Cypriots
Another mainly Greek tragedy in the early 70s described by Mrs Hislop in her unique master way , to create characters and link their life's to historical events and facts.
Was my second book of hers I read (first was the island ) and I merely can say , the lady is a writing talent
