I am a Greek Cypriot, so I am particularly interested in this part of your journey and book. My paternal grandmother was born and raised in Constantinople before the Greek genocide and death marches took her as a child to mainland Greece, and after marrying my Cypriot grandfather, she ended her days in Cyprus. She was a gifted dream interpreter and coffee cup reader, among other things. I carry fragments of her gifts mingled with the trauma of my ancestors and mine, so everything feels incomplete, unrefined, watered down. Still, I keep journeying. Will you be visiting Cyprus too for your research? If there is anything I can help with please let me know. Greek is my mother tongue but I live in North Wales right now.
