Wow. As a fan of Victoria Hislop I thought I would give this a try and I was not disappointed.
From the moment I started reading I couldn’t put this down.
The story goes between Angelika in the present day and the story of her grandmother Maria during the Nazi occupation of Crete.
You will smile, you will cry and you will be shocked at the plain truths of what happened in Crete during the war.
The bravery of Maria during the Nazi occupation will astound you. The lengths she goes to just to protect her family. The risks she takes and the secrets she holds with her all her life, until the moment she needs to tell her story to her Grandaughter. The truths of Maria’s story will make you feel that burden with her and realise just how secrets can stay hidden for so long, but telling them can bring your family back together again.
