It's the seventies, a time of political incorrectness and sexual liberation, and Yuri is ready to make the most of it. But life in Badock Hall, where he spends his first year as a Bristol University undergraduate studying Classics, is not the nirvana he hoped for. The longstanding feud between the Papayiannises and the Antonious rears its ugly head and Vasili, now a successful businessman and powerful member of the London underworld, wants Yuri to do his bidding as a way of getting at his old rival, Petraki, the man who stole the love of his life and Yuri's father. With loyalties stretched to the limit and his dreams of pop stardom on hold, Yuri then finds that his two best friends have gone missing. Saucy student capers turn to tragedy as the secrets of Yuri's family come back to haunt him from the past. The third in The Cypriot's Treasure Series and the final volume of the trilogy told by Yuri Aristopoulos, The Songs We Sang At Trollope's brings to a conclusion the incredible tale of Artie Papayiannis and the impact his errant life had on his children and grandchildren trying to make headway as immigrants in post-colonial Britain.

Autorenporträt
Milton Johanides has written a series of historically accurate novels with a fantasy twist. All members of the same family, the key protagonists embark on journeys of self-discovery while being challenged by external circumstances. Milton's books are about ordinary characters defeating undefeatable danger. In that sense they are fantasies, but fantasies which are rooted in psychologically plausible and real personalities and entirely plausible and real action. Love, God, greed or psychosis can be the motive behind the action, but either way the text is dotted with philosophical platitudes and memorable euphemisms pointing to a universality in human character that is unbreakable. Behind the drama of all the books in the series is a priceless El Greco locket representing both material possession and spiritual enlightenment depending on who owns it. From The Funked-Up Artist which begins in the summer of 1903 to Ari's Metal Breakdown which exists in some unspecified dystopian future, the core message remains the same: human nature must be given freedom to express itself fully regardless of political or economic context.
