From internationally acclaimed and Governor General's Award-winning
author Steven Heighton comes a passionate novel of buried secrets,
the repercussions of war and finding love among the ruins Elias
Trifannis is desperate to belong somewhere. To make his dying
ex-cop father happy, he joins the military--but in Afghanistan, by
the time he realizes his last-minute bid for connection was a
terrible mistake, it's too late and a tragedy has occurred. In the
aftermath, exhausted by nightmares, Elias is sent to Cyprus to
recover, where he attempts to find comfort in the arms of Eylul, a
beautiful Turkish journalist. But the lovers' reprieve ends in a
moment of shocking brutality that drives Elias into Varosha, once a
popular Greek-Cypriot resort town, abandoned since the Turkish
invasion of 1974. Hidden in the lush, overgrown ruins is a
community of exiles and refugees living resourcefully but
comfortably. Thanks to the cheerfully corrupt Colonel Kaya, who
turns a blind eye, they live under the radar of the Turkish
authorities. As he begins to heal, Elias finds himself drawn to the
enigmatic and secretive Kaiti while he learns at last to "simply
belong." But just when it seems he has found sanctuary, events he
himself set in motion have already begun to endanger it.
