In Lives Between the Lines, Michael Vatikiotis traces the journey
of his Greek and Italian forebears from Tuscany, Crete, Hydra and
Rhodes, as they made their way to Egypt and the coast of Palestine
in search of opportunity. In the process, he reveals a period where
the Middle East was a place of ethnic and cultural harmony - where
Arabs and Jews rubbed shoulders in bazaars and teashops,
intermarried and shared family history. While lines were eventually
drawn and people, including Vatikiotis's family, found themselves
caught between clashing faiths, contested identities and violent
conflict, this intimate and sweeping memoir is a paean to
tolerance, offering a nuanced understanding of the lost Levant.
