A sun-drenched Cretan village - lavender, oregano and bougainvillea on the breeze, delicious dishes bubbling away in a villa kitchen. A grandmother must share her secret story with her estranged granddaughter before it is too late. 37-year-old London-born Angie's wedding is only weeks away when she receives a letter from the grandmother she has never been allowed to meet. Maria lives in a remote village Crete and she is dying. She implores Angie, against her mother's wishes, to visit her on the island just as soon as she can. Before she dies and before Angie marries, she wants to tell her story. It's the story of the time of the German occupation of Crete during the Second World War, of horror, of courage and of the lengths to which a mother will go to protect her children and of how you learn to go on in the aftermath of tragedy. And it's the story of bitter secrets that broke the family apart and of three enchanting women who come together to heal wounds that have damaged two generations. If you loved Victoria Hislop's THE ISLAND and the novels of Santa Montefiore and Rosanna Ley, you will fall completely in love with this novel.
