“…this family has survived, and slowly green shoots of hope and renewal will grow from the smouldering ruins of devastation.”

There are strong themes throughout the story of destruction, devastation and loss, and what it takes to rebuild a town, a family or a person in the wake of a life-changing disaster.


Fans of the Beekeeper of Aleppo or Songbirds are likely to also enjoy this novel from Christy Lefteri, it has the same overall feeling of hope, compassion and unity - particularly amongst the strong female characters.

The cover art also continues thematically with Lefteri’s other novels which gives the feeling that the books all belong to the same genre. The contemporary setting is particularly relevant as the characters are Greek and the story echoes the real-liked disasters that fire has brought to Greece in recent years.
