Well Met in Cyprus recounts the experiences of Robert, a not-so-young American professor, who meets and falls in love with Anara, a young Kazakh girl. Robert invites Anara to come and live with him in north Cyprus where he is teaching at a university in Kyrenia. Their idyllic life on Aphrodite’s Island and the quaint village of Karmi takes a serious turn when Anara’s visa problems bring uncertainty and tension. Anara takes a job at a casino, hoping to get a work visa, and gets enmeshed unwittingly in the dangerous world of big money, boozers, gamblers, pimps and prostitutes. When she vanishes suddenly, a desperate Robert launches a campaign to rescue her. Travel through picturesque Cyprus and discover where Anara’s destiny leads her. Printed Pages: 366.
