Résumé
The book by Chrystalla Kirby ... I was born in Kharja; this diary, written for her children, is an autobiography of a girl who became a refugee at the age of 13 due to the Turkish invasion, left her home wearing flip-flops, and at 20 years old in 1981 borrowed 60 Cyprus pounds ($120) from her brother, packed a suitcase, and travelled to war-torn Baghdad to work. There she met her husband. Duncan...
an Englishman, whom she married despite her father's objections. Her father was a member of EOKA (who fought the colonial government of Cyprus for union with Greece). Not only did the English arrest and torture him, spending two and a half years in prison in England, but also they also demolished her mother's ancestral home. She lived in eight countries, worked in seven of them alongside Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, and traveled to an additional thirty countries.
Through her experiences, she understood that the average person is the same; they want a job, a plate of food, a roof over their head, and to raise their children in peace. Through her illness (she suffers from cardiac amyloidosis), her love for humanity turned into a tremendous love for the whole world. In 2008 (after the crossings were opened), she went back to her village, where she was born, in the occupied Kharja, east of Kyrenia.
She has a house there and stays, feeling free. She doesn't care who will govern her; she has come to her own peace with the Turks. She isn't concerned about death; she has come to a friendly relationship with it. She believes that from up there she will see her children, her husband, and everyone. And the day will come when they will meet there again!
