I usually don't go for book with this kind of premise but after trying to venture out of my comfort zone i decided to go ahead and read this.
I love the design of the cover and the imagery that it portrays with the typical Greek scenery and all round feel.
The writing was really descriptive but very easy to follow along with, i felt like i was well and truly in Corfu with penny.
The story is such an interesting one whit Penny recently loosing her father, whom she was really close and shared a love of the Durrells, to a terminal illness as well as a the break up of her relationship with Bruce. It really explores grief and the utter mess that it also brings along with it. The story also shows how we can make some really memorable friend along the way and that we are not alone in grieving someone who was close to us.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a classic summer story full of Sun, Greece, Grit and also a love of the Durrells!
