The ultimate beach read, with a touch of magical realism, this debut novel will delight and charm from start to finish, whisking you away to a Greek Island where food and wine are the stuff of life, where friendships lift you up, and love has a way of catching you when you’re least expecting it.
In a village on Naxos lies a gorgeous guest house and taverna that never opened. Cressida’s husband died suddenly – the taverna was their dream – but she’s been too lost in grief to keep that dream alive.
Marjory “Jory” St James always feels more at home on the move. As if summoned by the island, she arrives on Naxos in the middle of the night and quite unexpectedly becomes Cressida’s very first guest.
Jory quickly discovers that this trip will be more than just a sightseeing adventure. All the women she meets in the town are more than what they seem. But when a hotel group offers to buy the taverna, it’s going to take all of Jory and Cressida’s drive and expertise to keep that from happening. With a generous dash of romance, deliciously tempting food, and a growing friendship, can these two women find a way to finally open the little Greek taverna?
