As soon as I saw that Christy Lefteri had another book out, I just had to get my hands on it. Like the others, it didn’t disappoint!

We start at the end really. The first person narration tells us that the speaker met the man who started the fire. Like him, the speaker also does something terrible. They leave him. He could be dead.

Go back in time and we se a beautiful, picturesque village that held a million love stories, stories about peace and war but also stories about loss. This beautiful town with its history was taken by a fire that blazed right up to the sky. The fire ran all the way down to the sea where it just saw itself.

We follow a family from two nations, England and Greece, who live a simple life in a tiny Greek village. Irini, Tasso and their daughter, lovely, sweet Chara, whose name means joy. Their life changes in a moment when one man starts a fire out of greed and indifference. Many are killed, homes are destroyed, and the region's natural beauty wiped out.

Despite deep scars, the family survive and we can see new hope for the future. They have the chance to start again and rebuild their lives.
