Cypria by Alex Christofi

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review. 
All I knew about Cyprus was the passages of scripture that mention it. Then I picked up this book ... oh my.

Christofi swirls you through the history pages, narrow streets, and conflicts of a small island. Crucial throughout the human story, Cyprus is place just far enough away to require an effort but so close that it is worth fighting for.

Descriptive and well-researched, it's a worthy addition to books about the region. The photos are a bonus. If you are a history buff, if you have Mediterranean roots, or if you just like a good tale, this will be a joy to read.
