After a turbulent and insecure early childhood, my family settled in Cyprus, and eventually acquired a garden. Like all Middle Easterners,
gardens were considered central to their life.
My childhood memories are mainly of this
garden - an oasis in a dry landscape - with almond and orange blossoms,
bright flowers against vivid green foliage, and the pleasantly cool night garden, scented, mysterious - a magical place, full of shadows.
After the Turkish invasion of '74 when my parents had to leave all this behind, the memory of the garden still sustains me.
