Description
The Sunrise by Victoria Hislop is a powerful and poignant novel that brings to life a devastating episode in the history of Cyprus. In the golden city of Famagusta, Greek and Turkish Cypriots live in a state of uneasy harmony, but invasion brings chaos and terror, forcing 40,000 people to flee their homes in panic.
The city becomes a ghost town, but not everyone is able to leave. As the story unfolds, Hislop weaves a vast array of fact and fiction into a compelling family saga, exploring themes of loyalty, betrayal, love, and hatred. With her incisive narrative, she sheds light on a period of ethnic hatred and deception, revealing the humanity of ordinary people caught in the midst of conflict.
With vivid prose and a deep understanding of the subject, Hislop creates an immersive and engaging tale that is both educational and entertaining. This is a story of courage, resilience, and hope, set against the backdrop of a violent and tumultuous period in Cyprus' history.
