Publisher's Summary
The new novel from Victoria Hislop, the million-copy best-selling author of The Island, The Thread, and The Return.
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 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.

Not her best book
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as some of her others but it was still very enjoyable. I found the first part a bit boring with too much history and not enough story. However it did improve and the second half was more interesting and it all tied together well at the end. As usual there were some lovely characters but one took me by surprise as there was no hint of his ultimate nastiness earlier in the book.
