"A brilliant page turner...rich with drama and historical detail."
--Glamour (UK)
A beautiful and epic novel that spans nearly a hundred years, The
Thread is a magnificent story of a friendship and a love that endures
through the catastrophes and upheavals of the twentieth century--both
natural and man-made--in the turbulent city of Thessaloniki, Greece.
Victoria Hislop, internationally bestselling author of The Island and
The Return, has written a wonderfully evocative and enthralling saga
enriched by deep emotion and sweeping historical events, from fire to
civil war to Nazi brutality and economic collapse. The Thread is
historical fiction at its finest, colorful and captivating with truly
unforgettable characters--a novel that brilliantly captures the energy
and life of this singular Greek city.
