i AM COOKING dolma/dolmades today. Having noticed that I ran out of grounded cinnamon, I went into town. I popped into W.H.Smith to get a paper when I was distracted by the title of a new (new to me) title on the shelves. It was called 'Small Wars'. I remembered home and decided to browse through it. Lo and behold, the sole topic was Cyprus during the Eoka years.
It is the story of a Brit soldier and his family who had moved to Cyprus (foolish move) during the fight of Cypriots against colonial rule. Even though it comes under fiction, I purchased it. It will make a good read I think.
Reading it I might laugh or cry, I do not know.
One or two of you might be interested.
The author is Sadie Jones, Pub by Vintage Books.
SMALL WARS for some, but not for Cypriots.
Flippin heck, I have a lot of wrapping up to do. My wife has done the clever thing; Gone with the Dog. Wimin for you
