Penny’s life falls apart at the beginning of the book, her beloved father dies and her fiancé breaks off their engagement and moves to Italy. Penny decides to fulfill her childhood dream to visit Corfu and immerse herself in the world of the Durrells, her favourite book that she shared with her father.
I felt Penny was very brave to embark on a month long trip to Corfu on her own but also felt it a very fitting way to celebrate her fathers life. I loved that she had a list of places to visit and things to experience all ready as I do the exact same thing when I’m visiting somewhere too!
I have also loved Gerald Durrells books from childhood and love the tv series and the one back in the 80s, I now want to visit Corfu even more!! It is so beautifully described in the book and I could really picture everywhere that Penny went
The love stories are subtle and beautifully written, I loved reading this book.
A perfect summer read and I definitely recommend it wether you have watched The Durrells or not. Now I’m off to look up Corfu holidays and dream!
