"Tsirkas's three novels, set in Jerusalem, Cairo, and Alexandria during the Second World War, set out to tell the story of the betrayal of the Greek Left by the Communist Party itself, but also succeed in presenting, through a complex technique involving alternating narrators, a vivid and arresting picture of the Middle East as a hotbed of international sexual and political intrigue during this period."
