Inhaltsangabe

The complete first novel of the Cypriot's Treasure trilogy in its full unexpurgated length. A meeting between a young Greek Cypriot boy and a graduate of the Turkish military academy leads to a lifelong association which becomes the pivot for Greek and Turkish relations following the end of WW1. Artie embarks on an epic journey through war-torn Europe and his brief but inspiring encounter with Mustafa Kemal leaves in him an indelible mark which drives him on to incredible acts of heroism and the courage to pursue the love of his life, the beautiful Eftimia.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

In Olympia's Dream Milton creates the character of a young girl pulled in different directions by the forces of family love, by ambition and by the wiles of men. The same themes are present here as in the first in the series of The Cypriot's Treasure, that is God, religion, politics, love and vengeance. The location is the Eastern Mediterranean, in particular Greece and Cyprus, and the timeline stretches from the beginning of the second world war to its end. As in The Funked-Up Artist there is the sense that heroic individuals can make epic differences to the trajectory of history and in that sense Olympia is a hero of her time as well as a symbol for the growing consciousness of women in general, emancipating themselves and finding roles that are defined by their own dreams.
