Customer Reviews

Very enjoyable!

I found this book in a hotel exchange box in Rarotonga. Had never heard of the author but the title intrigued me. And I was also looking for a fun light read, nothing too heavy. It turned out to be perfect. Immediately you fall in love with Electra, she is a wonderful character and you can't help but like her. The story is told from all points of view - Electra, her husband Adam and his mother Margaret. Plus a side story with her friend Lydia and her mother Consuela and son Alvaro. Thoroughly enjoyable, one of those books you can put down but don't want to. Wonderful insights, amusing anecdotes plus a little bit of history too, in regards to Cyprus (of which I knew nothing about!). Highly recommend and will pass on to my friends!
