Book ID/图书代码： 04300010B34825
English Summary/英文概要： Fifteen-year-old Loukis is the last of five boys to be born into a big rural Cypriot family. Desperate to be free of his youngest son status, and to get the girl he loves, he elopes to join the resistance forces against the British. Joining a cell operating as irritants in the mountains, Loukis forges a firm friendship with his fellow schoolboy terrorists. Toulla, the lone female comrade in arms, holds a torch for Loukis, but Loukis’ heart is firmly spoken for. Then, on a hot, lazy day, as Toulla runs into their hideout, Loukis hears a deafening explosion. It is an atrocity no enemy could ever have committed. Stricken by the appalling tragedy, teenage Loukis returns to his village a man. But he is met with the devastating news that his sweetheart has married someone else. A story of foolish valour and the futility of violence, this novel will rip at your heart. In telling the story of Cyprus’ war of attrition, it shows how no amount of love can ever be enough to stop a nation at war with itself.
