Being a fan of the TV mini-series 'The Durrells' I knew I would like this one. Penny is at a turning point in her life, sitting by the bedside of her dying father in a hospice and the failing relationship which is about to set her free to complete the plans she had once made with her father... An adventure to Corfu - albeit- alone rather than a shared adventure following the love of Gerald Durrells childhood memoirs, ' My family and other animals'.
