Query: A powerful and wonderful historical novel

I loved this book, even more than I loved the Senior Vivo Trilogy. The characters came alive, as did the village with Mr de Berniere's skilful writing style. The wonderful idyl of a small pre WWI Turkish village, and the interaction between the ethnic Greeks and the ethnic Turks within part of the ottoman empire is created, and slowly pulled apart, much as the ottoman empire came apart. The ensuing upheaval of WWI and the relocation of the ethnic Greeks and Turks, from their home country to that of their ethnicity, is all woven into a story of people, about whom I really came to care.
