4.0 out of 5 starsAmazing book
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 2, 2023
Loved this book & would've given 5 stars except the last maybe one eighth of book just got a little too cookie cutter/predictable for me. It sure showed so much about changing times & cultures with people's attitudes & the affect other people's opinions have on us all, i.e. different people's religions & political leanings affect on us all. I mentioned to my spouse how sad it is to me that too many people see things as black & white & can't or don't want to open their minds enough to understand other peoples opinions. Also too many people just parrot whatever their parents told them. I think it's good to question "authority". Actually I'd give this book 4.5 stars & the editing was excellent!

I read this to the end but probably skipped at least 30% since it was so boring. The most interesting part was the description of the Greek foods. Find yourself a better author to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Setting details enhance the story; needs more proofreading
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on August 14, 2022

After living in Greece, it was enjoyable to visit it again through this novel. However, I wish there were more details about the geography; i.e. how tall are the mountains?

The female protagonist (and main POV narrative voice) is pleasant and honest. She has gone through a lot and has much to grieve about. There are some sections that become redundant pertaining to her angst, her past abuse, and her self-limitations on future options (career or love?), but she does a good job of growing a backbone and standing up for her future happiness.

The male protagonist is also likable in spite of his past history with being the local heartbreaker.

The secondary characters are sufficiently developed as to be believable and somewhat memorable. The author does a great job with dialog by incorporating syntax errors for non-native English speakers, and by giving each character personality and voice.

Whatโ€™s not so great is the preponderance of errors in the writing. The author needs to learn to use commas consistently between independent clauses joined by conjunctions as well as to eliminate awkward fragments. There are paragraphs that lack cohesion with interrupting random thoughts or POV/topic shifts. The author also needs to do a word search on the overuse of โ€œtowardsโ€, as well as eliminate starting, began, got, and other boring verbs. There are also some emotional reactions that seem odd or inconsistent.

For sensitive readers, this book deals with the death of a parent to cancer, recovery from a toxic relationship (with an alcoholic), stalking, miscarriages, sex before marriage, single parenting, family secrets, but thankfully no incest!

The author includes descriptions of Greek food dishes, recipes, and conversational phrases that add to the story. There is a satisfying HEA and lots of wisdom tucked into the personal growth of the heroine. The solution to the mystery is somewhat predictable, but it is a good story overall.

At first I found the story slow and not that interesting, however, before long I was enjoying it. Then it got to the point I didn't want to put it down. The author is very descriptive of both the people and the settings. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and recommend it to others.

Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on August 9, 2022

I simply loved this novel and I have never been one to like romance books. I loved the setting, loved the characters and the plot. Even the love scenes were handled tastefully. The author made Greece come alive and the story with the underlying mystery of a lost painting pulls the reader right into the book from the beginning. The realistic descriptions of some of the heartaches experienced were written beautifully . I had been looking for a summer read so if you are searching for something like that, I would highly recommend this lovely novel. It made me forget my circumstances and I was able to โ€œ escapeโ€ for a while.

This was a delightful read and very captivating. I am grateful to know a little more about Greece as well, especially their strong family life.

Although it soon became apparent which way the... meltemi was blowing, the story and its characters were well developed and the book was very enjoyable. One of the "unputdownables" for me. I was impressed by the descriptions of places I know so well and by the unmistakably "Greek" way the Greeks spoke English. Well done! I am looking forward to anything else this author has to offer.

I just finished this book, reluctantly. I saved the last part for a few days because I honestly didn't want the story to end. This book mesmerized me from the beginning and I felt a part of the story. Debut novel? I hope there will be many more to come!

This is a love story and a woman's courage to start over after a breakup and her mother's death. She does this far from London in Greece.
