Το βουνί

With a mountain in a remote frontier region of Cyprus at its centre, the novel unfolds the story of Xenis, the Girl and the Swede. Its linked narrative starts in the early 1970s and moves backwards to the beginning of the last century, to the stifling world of mountain Cyprus and to the Swedish archaeological excavations on the mountain under British rule. From London to New York and from Tillyria to Falun in Sweden, it listens to the most intimate whispers of existence to tell the troubled history of the place and the recurring story of the heart being torn from the chest. The only constant through time is the mountain itself, towering over land and sea.
