Summary
I'll begin with the war, when everything changed for us. In 1943, our comfortable family life came to an abrupt end, thanks to Hitler.
During the Nazi occupation of Athens, Daphne, a young Greek Jewish artist, finds her life suddenly under threat. She's in love with her Austrian art teacher, and together they must risk it all to escape his cousin, an SS officer. Pursued across Greece, their journey leads them to the island of Corfu.
In 2023 Liverpool, as Daphne's 100th birthday approaches, she knows time is running out to share her story. Daphne tells Flora, her granddaughter, of a valuable piece of art from her youth. A masterpiece which bought her freedom but cost her everything she held dear.
Will Flora discover more than she expects as she explores the island her family took refuge on?

Just amazing.
Having listened to all of her stories I just love them and this is not a disappointment. If you you enjoy Victoria Hislop give these wonderful stories a go, I do and they just transport you to Greece at another time, just wonderful.

Another amazing story from Patricia Wilson
Another amazing story from Patricia Wilson that focuses on an elderly lady's life which she tells to her grandaughter. I've loved all her books and this one didn't let me down.
