Book Discussion: Ghost Flight by Eva Asprakis

In this session, we will have Cyprus-based author Eva Asprakis as a guest talking about her book Ghost Flight:
August 2004. High-school sweethearts Aristos and Agathi, and Petros and Melina, are the best of friends, until Aristos declares that he is leaving Cyprus for university. Seven years later, Aristos returns with his new girlfriend, Wendy, to find Petros and Melina engaged, and Agathi still hung up on him. As the estranged friends become reacquainted, their worlds come apart. All of them have wrongs to right, but with Cyprus hurtling towards the worst aviation disaster in its history, they might have less time than they think.’ Set in the shadow of the Helios Airways Flight 522 tragedy, Ghost Flight is a story of histories colliding and breaking to pieces. A morality tale of love, loss and forgiveness that challenges readers to examine the preciousness of time. On its release, Asprakis says, “Ghost Flight is set at a time of real change in Cyprus. Between 2003 and 2005, the country opened its first crossing point between north and south, joined the European Union, and voted on the Annan Plan for reunification…the book follows four characters as they try to reconcile their personal and political pasts with the lives they are living now, and with the futures they may or may not want to have.”
