emotional funny informative medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Far more than I expected to. It was informative, sad and humorous. I enjoyed the chapters told by one perspective in particular but I won't say whose so as not to spoil anything 😉
A very interesting account of the Cypriot war in the 1970s too. I knew very little of the conflict.
