The Silivri Saga – Evelyn Lyle Kalças – Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yayınevi

With the years, memories tend to become like islands in the ever encroaching sea of life, some sleeping peacefully, with wavlets breaking languidly on their shores, others vivid; all these help to revitalise the more dormant recollections. Thrace the mysterious, an almost unknown region, is a natural land bridge traversed by countless migrations as well as warlike groups: Persians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, Huns, Byzantines, Crusaders, Ottomans and lastly, Bulgarian Turks. Thrace is the setting for the historic episodes and the author’s recollections in this, her ninth published book.
