A paperback wishlist purchase from Tyrvään kirjakauppa from summer 2015.

Synopsis:

"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 Ozkans, 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 facade of glamour and success, tension is building."
-------
I found many similarities between this book and Hislop's previous novel, The Thread. This too was a strong family saga. Perhaps some darker themes about betrayal, fighting for your destiny through selfishness and hatred in the turmoil of crisis. Political insight to the history of Cyprus. Perhaps a bit too heartbreaking for my current mood but overall again a very beautifully written story.

Kiitos kirjasta ja seurasta! Kylläpä päivä hurahti nopeasti! Pari kirjaa lukuvuorossa, mutta luen tämän varmasti aika pian.

Elämänlanka tuli mieleen täälläkin tätä lukiessa, mutta ei se haitannut, sillä Hislopin kerronta vei mennessään taas. Ikuisuus sitten kävin Pohjois-Kyproksella, Famagustassakin, mutta enpä tiedä, antoiko se mitään lisää varsinaisesti tälle lukukokemukselle.
Kiitos taas niin kirjasta kuin seurastakin, Bookgeo! En nyt osaa kummemmin journaloida, mutta ehkäpä ymmärrät... :)

Thank you, kiitos erpax kun tarjosit minulle tätä kirjaa. Olen lukenut muutamia Victoria Hislopin kirjoja ja pitänyt niistä. En usko että tämä on poikkeus säännöstä. Kesälomakin on juuri alkamassa, tämä on täydellinen kirja niihin tunnelmiin. Oli kiva myös tavata, vaikkakin pikaisesti.

One more beautiful book from Victoria Hislop. I have visited Cypros a few times, but had little knowledge about its past. Heartbreaking story, but still quite a nice holiday read.
