Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this gentle, engaging and light hearted tale. It‘s beautifully and vividly written. The imagery it paints is wonderful. I could easily picture the island of Corfu with its many coves, tavernas and bars - I almost felt I was there. Even though I did find it somewhat twee at times, ultimately I found it a thoughtful tale about coming to terms with grief, finding yourself and following your dreams. A worthwhile read! 3.5⭐️

I loved this, a really feel good summery read and as a fan of the Durrells I just totally appreciated the culture, exptic country and literary aspect of the story.
Penny has broken up with her uncaring fiance Bruce.
Her father has just died and she decides on the spur of the moment to go to Corfu in honour to his memory.
She is instantly enchanted with the magic of the island and falls in love with the place and the people.

This was such a charming story of loss, love and rediscovery.
When Penny loses her father and also her fiance around the same time she sets off on a voyage of self discovery and as an homage to her father's memory as he introduced her to the Durrells books.
Fascinated by their eccentric and bohemian lifestyle she books a month long trip to Corfu to follow in their footsteps and soak up the local history at the same time.
Finding love along the way
