The Thread by Victoria Hislop
4.0
I just returned from a trip to Thessaloniki and wanted to learn more about the history of this city, particularly the Jewish history.
This book certainly filled that need, with an epic that started with the 1917 fire that razed large parts of the city, through the deportation of the Jews during WWII and through the start of the new century.
Interesting characters, compelling story, even if at the end it was a little too contrived, and definitely a worthwhile, memorable read.
