About This Novel
This book is another masterpiece by the British best-selling novelist Victoria Hislop after "Island" and is a companion volume to "Island". The novel spans from the early 20th century to 2008. It is set in Thessaloniki, Greece, and reflects the century-old historical changes of modern Greece through the fate of a family: the 1917 city fire, the Balkan War, two world wars, the Nazi occupation, the Greek Civil War and other major historical events. And among them are the life experiences of ordinary individuals: the protagonists Katerina and Dimitri, as well as their families, companions, and neighbors, were separated, reunited, and separated because of the big history, and they resented, fell in love, and stayed with each other in the fate of individuals. "The Thread" is not only a family legend, but also a miniature modern history of Greece. Through delicate writing, Hislop brings readers into Thessaloniki, a city full of stories, to feel its glory and pain. It tells the story of how ordinary people used love, courage and tenacity to protect their families and humanity in the torrent of history, and ultimately allowed life and hope to continue.
