Surfing Cyprus

David Walker is a quiet, retiring kind of man in a dead-end job, married to the same woman for over twenty years. And he wouldn't change a thing. As a teenager he spent three years on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus--the three best years of his life. It is a part of his past that he retreats to frequently, whenever life becomes too overwhelming for him to handle. Now, events at work are encouraging him to escape even more into his past. With the aid of the Internet he expects not only to relive his youth in Cyprus, but also locate those friends he hasn't seen in thirty years. Instead, he finds people who don't know him and whose memories of that time and place are completely at odds with his own. As his fixation with the past takes root, he becomes blind to the growing problems that surround him. What started as an escape from reality becomes an overriding obsession that threatens his livelihood, his marriage and even his life. With a wry sense of humor and a gift for detail, D.R. Moody has captured the atmosphere and beauty of the Cyprus he inhabited in his youth as well as the risks of dwelling too heavily in the past.
