October 2008
About the book — In this heart-rending novella-chronicle, Costas Montis gives a poignant portrayal of the EOKA (Greek for National Organization of Cypriot Fighters) struggle to achieve independence for Cyprus from the British yoke in the years 1955-59. Closed Doors is intended, as the author states, as an answer to Bitter Lemons by Lawrence Durrell, who was a British official in Cyprus at the time.
The 1955-59 years are a period filled with unparalleled courage and heroism, and Costas Montis succeeds in immersing the reader in the atmosphere of those turbulent times.
