The Thread follows the lives of several characters in Thessaloniki from 1917 to around 1962. The characters live through famines, wars and displacement. The bonds between them are strong and touching - a book where sometimes the strongest connections are the community rather than blood relatives. Their culture is a central theme, as is politics.We have Katerina: taken in by Eugenia and brought up with Eugenia's twin daughters. Their neighbours, the Morenos, have a tailor business and Katerina develops a love of and talent for sewing. Also living in the neighbourhood is Dimitri and his mother Olga - they are part of the wealthy elite but are living temporarily in a relatively poor area while their house is rebuilt. Dimitri's socialist / Communist values, heavily influenced by his childhood experiences, are deeply conflicting with those of his father who is sympathetic to the ruling elite.The love story between Katerina and Dimitri is an important part of the story, as is the experiences of the Moreno family as Jews in WWII and the family conflict between Dimitri, his oppressed but sympathetic mother and his capitalist father.While it was a lovely story, I was not swept up in it (unlike Victoria Hislop's "The Island") and at times I was plodding through it. A good read rather than a great one, but still very enjoyable.

I bought this book after being acquainted with The Island and enjoyed losing myself in the stories of the characters, however I felt the book was biased towards the Leftists and excusing their impact on my country making it seem that they only wanted the good of the homeland and underplaying the paidomazoma - the abduction of Greek children which were sent to Communist bloc countries to be indoctrinated. I would have preferred if the author had spent a little more time researching the history of Modern Greece. I was also expecting some kind of redemption for Konstantinos but it never came. He was only there to be the baddie and provide a reason for his son's actions. If you are reading this book as an outsider who is totally unaware of Greek history, then it won't bother you, but please do not take the fiction as fact. If you really want to know about the guerillas and their actions, read Eleni, by Nicholas Gage.

The Thread is set in Greece's second city Thessaloniki with a prologue set in the present day. A young Anglo-Greek hears for the first time the story of his Grandparents and this story starts in 1917. A fire rages out of control and most of the citizens are left homeless. A baby boy is born that night and The Thread follows the story of that child - Dimitri Komninos. As a small boy Dimitri plays on the street with Katerina who is a refugee from Asia Minor, she fled when the Turks invaded her homeland.This is a story of long-lasting, enduring love. It is also the story of a nation and particularly a city. Following the turbulent events of the twentieth century. Fires, wars, invastions, dictatorship and earthquakes this country and it's people went through so much. There are heartbreaking scenes within the story - the brutality and violence that happened during the German occupation - the fierce civil war and fighting between the Government and the rebel communistsAt times this is a complex read and The Thread is an apt title - not only because of the links to the textile industry but also the clever way that Hislop has linked her characters, regardless of their race or status within the city.Ultimately a love story, this is also a story of survival and of bravery, of passion and at times of brutality and such great sadness.As in her previous novels, the modern day prologue and epilogue tie up the historical story. It's a neat way of letting the reader know how history influenced the present for the characters.I was bewitched from page one, and The Thread is most certainly going to be one of my Top Five reads of 2011.
