...Nicosia, swarmed into a cathedral chanting: "Enosis" (Union with Greece). Outside, they were met by black-helmeted security police. Recruited from the Turkish Cypriot community by the British, the "Black Turks" are hated by the Greek Cypriots. Truncheons came, down on the backs of screaming boys and girls.

One is a Lesbian who seduced a happily-married woman and drove her to commit suicide. The other woman in this drawing-room Hades is far less willing to acknowledge her evil. She has killed her baby in front of her lover and he blew his brains out afterwards. The third and most intelligible character is a "fearless" journalist who helped himself to all the indulgences due a hard...
