Description

Set against the background of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, the Gallipoli compaign, and the subsequent bitter struggle between Greeks and Turks the book follows the fortunes of one small community in south-west Anatolia - a community in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacfully over the centuries and in which friendship, even love, can transcend religious differences. . When war is declared against the Allies the young men are sent to fight. As the great world intrudes, the twin scourges of religion and nationalism lead to forced marches and massacres, hunger grips the town, and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed.
