A gloriously sunny book of family secrets, lost loves and self-discovery, One Summer in Crete by Nadia Marks is an engrossing holiday read.
'If you don't think you're about to get to Crete this is the next best thing' – Vanessa Feltz
Calli's world has fallen apart – her relationship is suddenly over and her chances of starting a family are gone. So when she's sent to write a magazine article about the Greek island of Ikaria, it seems the perfect escape.
Travelling to Crete, where her family is from, Calli soon realizes there is more to discover than paradise beaches and friendly locals. When her aunt Froso begins to share the story of her own teenage heartache, will the love, betrayal and revenge she reveals change Calli's life forever?
Travel further with Secrets Under the Sun and Between the Orange Groves by Nadia Marks. Nadia Marks (née Kitromilides, which in Greek means 'bitter lemons') was born in Cyprus, but grew up in London.
