Description
The Sunrise A Novel by Victoria Hislop tells the powerful story of three families whose lives are decimated when ethnic tensions erupt into conflict in Cyprus. Set against the backdrop of the 1974 Cypriot coup d'état, this novel juxtaposes the glittering affluence of the Mediterranean coast with a narrative of war. In the midst of mounting hostility and brewing unrest, Aphroditi and her husband Savvas's luxurious hotel, The Sunrise, becomes a symbol of the island's glamour and exclusivity. Yet beneath its tranquil surface, simmering tensions between Greeks and Turks threaten to destroy everything. As the situation spirals out of control, two families - the Özkans and the Georgious - are forced to take shelter in the deserted hotel, battling illness, hunger, fear, and their own prejudices while struggling to stay alive. A moving story about the measures we take to protect what we love, The Sunrise is a powerful exploration of loyalty, love, and resilience in the face of tremendous upheaval.
