Bitter Lemons Of Cyprus ([Abridged ed.])

"Bitter Lemons of Cyprus" is both an evocative and memorable picture of village life and a social and historical document of a lost community.

Written during the gradual uprising of the Greek Cypriots who wanted union wit Greece (Enosis), Durrell observes the people's struggles on an intimate and personal level.

Sadly some fifty years later the Cypriot situation remains unresolved.

Here Andrew Sachs inhabits the voices of both Turkish and Greek Cypriots quite brilliantly.
