Recensione:

“Hislop is a clever storyteller. . . 20th-century Greece and her citizens are brought vividly to life. Striking an excellent balance between historicity and impassioned drama, Hislop’s newest should not be missed.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Hislop’s vivid storytelling makes a fascinating, turbulent place and time spring to life.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“Combining a keen eye for detail with her usual fluid writing style, Hislop presents an engrossing excursion to Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest metropolis. . . . This fast–moving, touching saga about tragedy, recovery, and the real meaning of family is full of dramatic incidents demonstrating their city’s transformation and resilience.” (Booklist)

“A brilliant page turner and destined to become a reading group staple, THE THREAD is rich with drama and historical detail.” (Glamour (UK))

“Hislop writes in rich, vivid detail about the city by the sea, bringing its diverse population to life. . . . Sweeping in scope yet intimate in detail, THE THREAD is a love letter to Greece and a testament to the courage and adaptability of its people.” (Shelf Awareness)
