Description
A Good Year by Polis Loizou is set in rural Cyprus in 1925. Despo's life is marked by fear and uncertainty as she navigates her pregnancy and the superstitions that surround her. Meanwhile, her husband Loukas struggles with his own desires and dreams, drawing him to an Englishman who has arrived on the island. As Christmas approaches, a time of reckoning in local folklore, Despo and Loukas must confront the ominous forces at play. The village is gripped by superstition, and the couple's unborn child becomes a focal point for their fears. This tense and atmospheric novel explores the complexities of human desire and the power of tradition in a small community.
