The Ledra Palace Hotel in Constantia, Cyprus, was built in the 1950s and symbolized the country's entry into the modern world.

When the Ledra Palace Hotel was constructed in the 1950s, it served as a symbolic representation of Cyprus' entrance into the modern world. Nestled in the picturesque Constantia, this enchanting novella unfolds the aspirations and struggles of the island's tumultuous twentieth century through the lives of its inhabitants. Among them, we encounter the exiled king, seeking solace in alcohol disguised as tea, the porter who covertly cultivates a rose from his village to create his signature rosebud infusions, the United Nations officer resorting to lemonade to cope with the heat and the deceit, and the cleaning lady, always accompanied by her sacred water. These reluctant participants in history are poignantly portrayed in this poignant, intimate, and uniquely original portrayal of civil unrest and division.
