Interesting idea, important topic. Beautifully written. But I struggle to believe anything the characters say would be said by actual people. Instead of a natural progression of events, the text feels like a scripted thought experiment.

The book tries to tell you about actual people, but it tries too hard. I applaud the effort, though, and enjoy learning about Cyprus and its habitants.
