Review of 'Bitter Lemons of Cyprus' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
As everyhone else says, a beautifully written book which made me long for the sunshine and the islands. But then the book turned dark, and paradise was paradise no more. It's scary to see how quickly - if one is to believe the author - everything changed. One day a haven of peace, the next a nest of terrorists comparable to what we see during present days.
The language is beautiful, but somehow it drowns the seriousness of the Cypriot story by it's wellwrittenness. That's why only four stars.
