A very compelling story of love, intrigue and betrayal. Beautifully written, set on the island of corfu.
I dropped a few stars as I found the sex scenes a bit too graphic and I don’t like authors using bad language.

This could be the book for Summer reading.

Excellent writing and with a plot that flows very well. Family drama, heartbreak and love that never is forgotten. Based on the Island of Corfu it takes you through some turbulent years and the will to survive, but done in the warmest of ways.

Dinah Jefferies writes another stunning book.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book.

Romance and sadness come together in this beautifully told story set in the 30’s on the Greek island of Corfu. Thirza returns to her family home to escape and paint but she cannot get her missing brow her Billy off her mind. The answers she’s looking for will play out in this gentle read.
Throughly enjoyed the story and loved the character of Thirza she was a well grounded person looking for peace. The setting was idyllic and made me want to escape to the sun would have been a perfect by the pool book!
Definitely a must read and thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to dive into this story.

I always adore Dianh Jefferies novels.

This book set in Corfu in the 1930s is filled with romance, sadness and intrigue. I felt as if I was swept away to the mediterranean shores and sitting with Thirza as she paints. Her brother Billy always on her mind.

There are secrets to be unveiled and a passionate affair but Thirza tries to discover herself and what happened to Billy.

As always these stories are beautifully told. It is a real pleasure to read such works by a brilliant storyteller .. I loved it
