Description
‘Written in 1969, Eastern Mediterranean recounts the progressively tense political situation in Cyprus during independence, in Nicosia from 1960 to the beginning of intercommunal troubles at the end of 1963 through the eyes of a cast of characters … Meleagrou explores, through her protagonist Margarita, the profound literal and metaphorical engagement with this land both as physical presence and as a collective socio-political experience.’
– Vangelis Calotychos
