The Sunrise A Novel簡(jiǎn)介，目錄書(shū)摘
Internationally bestselling author Victoria Hislop delivers a stirring novel set during the 1974 Cypriot coup d'état that tells the intersecting stories of three families devastated by the conflict. . .
Summer 1972—Famagusta is Cyprus's most desirable tourist destination in the Mediterranean. Aphroditi Papacostas and her husband， Savvas， own The Sunrise， a wildly successful new luxury hotel. Frequented by only the very wealthiest of Europe's elite， The Sunrise quickly becomes the place to see and be seen. Yet beneath the veneer of tranquil opulence simmers mounting hostility between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Years of unrest and ethnic violence come to a head when， in 1974， Greece's coup d'état provokes a Turkish attack on beautiful Famagusta.
The fallout sends the island's inhabitants spiraling into fear and chaos， and the Papacostases join an exodus of people who must abandon their idyllic lives in Famagusta and flee to refugee camps. In the end， only two families remain in the decimated city： the Georgious and the ?zkans. One is Greek Cypriot， the other Turkish Cypriot， and the tension between them is palpable. But with resources scarce and the Turkish militia looming large， both families must take shelter in the deserted hotel as they battle illness， hunger， fear， and their own prejudices while struggling to stay alive.
The Sunrise is a poignant story about the measures we take to protect what we love.
