Summary

This is the account of a unique journey – a 600-mile trek on foot around Cyprus in the last year of the island's peace. Colin Thubron intertwines myth, history and personal anecdote in a quest from which the characters and places, architecture and landscape all spring vividly to the listener's ear.

History of days before partition.

Essential reading for anyone who has an interest in Cyprus history. Thubron is s bit 'old school' in his travels and characters come across like eccentric extras in a film. He has provides some fascinating pieces on the history of the various sites he visits including research on past excavations and surveys.

Wonderful Read

A marvellous way to discover Cyprus and its history. I kept a map, nearby, as I listened.

A little dry for my taste, but well written

I found the sale a little dry. There is no doubt the book was thoroughly researched though. Worthwhile

This book touches on greatness at times!

Old school book, well written, very British sense of humour, not for a 21st century minded individual perhaps...
