Publisher's Summary

Thessaloniki, 1917. As Dimitri Komninos is born, a devastating fire sweeps through the thriving Greek city where Christians, Jews and Muslims live side by side. Five years later, Katerina Sarafoglou's home in Asia Minor is destroyed by the Turkish army. Losing her mother in the chaos, she flees across the sea to an unknown destination in Greece. Soon her life will become entwined with Dimitri's, and with the story of the city itself, as war, fear and persecution begin to divide its people.

Thessaloniki, 2007. A young Anglo-Greek hears his grandparents' life story for the first time and realises he has a decision to make. For many decades, they have looked after the memories and treasures of the people who were forced to leave. Should he become their next custodian and make this city his home?

    "Really liked it!"
    If you could sum up The Thread in three words, what would they be?

    Historical, romantic, well-told


    What did you like best about this story?

    That it was a historical novel and that it was set in a city I knew nothing about. The city itself almost became a character in the book. I also loved the characters in the book and the descripitions of their relatinships to each other.


    Have you listened to any of Sandra Duncan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have not listened to any of her other performance's, but I liked her as a narrator in this book.


    Who was the most memorable character of The Thread and why?

    Katerina, because of her importance in the story. But a lot of the other characters were also good. I especially liked Katerina's foster mother.
