The Library of Nicosia: The moving new novel from the bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo

In the wake of a brutal war, Cyprus is an island divided, and holding an uncertain peace. Hidden within the shattered landscape of the Green Line, the militarised No Man's Land, is the Library of Nicosia. Accessed from both sides of the Green Line, the library is a gateway for secret contact between friends, families, lovers.

Turkish Yasemin and Greek Nicos have been driven apart by artificial identities and animosities neither of them understand. The golden thread that binds them is the library, and a book that keeps a message. Vassos, the librarian, works in secret as keeper of the flame, hoping that one day the lovers might find their way home to each other. In The Library of Nicosia, Christy Lefteri, international bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo and Songbirds, returns to Cyprus, the island her family fled after the war, to explore a community riven by conflict, and the acts of determination and courage that lie at the heart of what it is to love, and to be human.
