The touching story of a teenager who struggles with the eternal
problems of adolescence, Betwixt & Between is a coming-of-age
novel set in a politically divided country. While the era of
British colonialism in Cyprus is coming to a violent end, Dimitri
tries to come to terms with the consequences of the political
turmoil on his own life. Strengthened by his passion for medieval
poetry and his love for the history of his island, he sets out to
balance the Cypriot and English elements in his daily life. His
quest for answers is complicated by romantic love for his British
friend Anne and his physical attraction to his father's maid
Phrossou. Balancing between different identities, religions and
communities, his personal search becomes symbolic of his country's
turbulent political situation. A nostalgic story about family, love
and friendship, Betwixt & Between is a powerful novel about the
psychology of an adolescent torn between different worlds, and
about the complexities of life and love in the social and
historical mosaic of 1950's colonial Cyprus. It is a
beautifully-observed, historically-informed novel by the celebrated
Greek historian and novelist.
