has anyone read the novel by andreas koumi titled the cypriot its based on the 1950s to 1974 cyprus is under british rule, to the orthodox christian majority

freedom means enosis union with greece, the muslim minority ,enosis means

disaster.

those who want to understand about t/cs and g/cs a little more its a must read .

andreas koumi was born in london to cypriot parents and now lives in southgate.

it a great novel

Hi Musin



Sounds like a good read, but I won't have time to read it.

When and if you have time could you share some of the main points with us.

Ishmail: "...she was matron in lefkosia hospital..."



I was wondering why someone using a Turkish name would use the Greek name for Nicosia.
