About the Book


In Cyprus the way you order coffee can get you into trouble, as even coffee is political. But not for the author and her group of friends from both sides of the divide, who don't want to colour themselves as either Greek or Turkish, but as Cypriots.

They are the Traitors' Club, traitors because they are friends and because they have a goal that others don't seem to have - to live together. Through playful banter over coffee in an Ottoman courtyard in the divided capital, Nicosia, they share their moving, funny yet sometimes harrowing experiences, having lived through anticolonial struggle, internecine fighting, war, partition and endless, ineffective peace negotiations, in what has become known as 'the Cyprus problem'.

From the author's idyllic life growing up in an island with the potential of being a paradise to her desperate flight in the face of war, this memoir shows what it is really like to live in Cyprus with the unresolved political problem colouring your life.

Reviews:
"A must read for anyone who has some awareness of the recent history of Cyprus."

"An absorbing read, frequently amusing, sometimes shocking, but always informative and entertaining."

"I wish more people had the courage to join the Traitors' Clubs around the world."

"Read the book and be filled with the joy and sadness of the island everyone wanted."

"This memoir defies and excels."

"A story of an effort by regular people (the traitors' club) to defy the politicians, and find a way to co-exist with 'the enemy'"
