Why read it?
1 author picked When the Cypress Whispers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the way the writer used the real story of a Jewish family that got saved by the inhabitants of a small Greek island from the Germans during World War II.
There are different elements I love, too, like the fact the book is situated on an island off the coast of Crete, which I love. And how the main character is caught between two cultures, that’s also a theme I like to read about. And yes, there were moments when the story made me cry.
From Judit's list on greatest mix of reality and fiction.
