«The Thread» is the historical novel by Victoria Hislop, published by Headline in paperback (480 pages, in English).
The narrative begins in Thessaloniki in 1917, when a fire devastates the multicultural city where Christians, Jews and Muslims coexist. Years later, young Katerina flees Asia Minor after the destruction of her home by the Turkish army and, in the chaos, loses her mother. Her life crosses paths with that of Dimitri Komninos as war, fear and persecution divide the city's peoples. In 2007, a young Anglo-Greek man hears for the first time the story of his grandparents and must decide whether to accept being the custodian of the memories and treasures of those who were expelled from their land.
The action takes place between Thessaloniki and Asia Minor throughout the 20th century, with an epilogue in 2007; the work is framed in historical fiction about Greece.
Recommended for readers interested in historical novels set in Greece and in stories that intertwine family past with the great events of the 20th century.
