Colin Thubron's captivating exploration of Cyprus takes readers deep into the heart of an island caught between East and West, ancient and modern. Travelling through both Greek and Turkish communities in the years before partition hardened into permanence, he unveils a land rich in mythology, scarred by history, and home to people whose stories reflect centuries of conquest and coexistence.
With his characteristic insight and lyrical prose, Thubron ventures beyond the tourist trails into mountain villages, monasteries, and forgotten corners where the island's complex identity reveals itself. This is travel writing at its finest—intimate, learned, and deeply humane—offering a portrait of Cyprus that remains as relevant and moving today as when it was first written.
