TO THE LAKE - KAPKA KASSABOVA KARTONIERT (TB)

A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa. Two vast lakes joined by underground
rivers. Two lakes that have played a central role in Kapka Kassabova's maternal family. As she
journeys to her grandmother's place of origin  Kassabova encounters a civilizational
crossroads. The Lakes are set within the mountainous borderlands of North Macedonia  Albania
and Greece  and crowned by the old Roman road  the via Egnatia. Once a trading and spiritual
nexus of the southern Balkans  it remains one of Eurasia's oldest surviving religious melting
pots. With their remote rock churches  changeable currents  and large population of migratory
birds  the Lakes live in their own time. By exploring the stories of dwellers past and present
Kassabova uncovers the human history shaped by the Lakes. Soon  her journey unfolds to a deeper
enquiry into how geography and politics imprint themselves upon families and nations  and
confronts her with questions about human suffering and the capacity for change.
