Book Information

In a small village set among the wild mountains of Cyprus, two families of different faiths share a seemingly unbreakable friendship based on mutual respect and deep affection. Mothers and daughters share their daily secrets, fathers and sons support each other as they live their lives between the fragrant pine trees and orange groves. It's here that two boys, Lambros and Orhan, grow up side by side, as close as brothers. Their lives are inextricably linked, but as their fortunes shift and time passes, an unforgivable act of betrayal takes place, setting in motion a chain of events that tears the two friends and their entire families apart . . . Many decades later, Lambros, now an old man living in London, decides to share his painful memories with his daughter Stella, transporting her back to an island brimming with passion and, at its heart, a scandal that still haunts those involved. Is it too late for forgiveness? Or can the next generation embark on a journey of their own to help mend the damage done all those years ago? Praise for Nadia Marks 'An utterly gripping story of love and family secrets' Vanessa Feltz 'A sparkling summer read' Woman 'An atmospheric and emotion-packed sunshine odyssey . . .
