http://nhw.livejournal.com/654449.html[return][return]This is an honest, courageous, very intelligent and very emotional book. Papadakis, himself a Greek Cypriot from Limassol, examines the stories told about their past by Greek and Turkish Cypriots. And he does it through a candidly effective mixture of analysis and chronicling his own reactions as he learns and experiences more about his own past, as well as the history of his island. I couldn't recommend the book to an absolute beginner on Cy More...

A very good book about the history of cyprus, but also about the voyage of discovery as the author (a cypriot greek) confronts and challenges his own prejudice and stereotypes about the "other", in this case embodies by people of Turkish descent.
