'Sweeping, magnificently detailed and ambitious' The Sunday Times
The enthralling novel from Victoria Hislop, the million-copy
bestselling author of The Island and The Return. Thessaloniki,
1917. As Dimitri Komninos is born, a devastating fire sweeps
through the thriving Greek city where Christians, Jews and Muslims
live side by side. Five years later, Katerina Sarafoglou's home in
Asia Minor is destroyed by the Turkish army. Losing her mother in
the chaos, she flees across the sea to an unknown destination in
Greece. Soon her life will become entwined with Dimitri's, and with
the story of the city itself, as war, fear and persecution begin to
divide its people. Thessaloniki, 2007. A young Anglo-Greek hears
his grandparents' life story for the first time and realises he has
a decision to make. For many decades, they have looked after the
memories and treasures of the people who were forced to leave.
Should he become their next custodian and make this city his home?
