Under a Greek moon


 

Hollywood actress Shauna Jackson left the Greek island of Ithos twenty years ago and thought she would never return. Reeling from a scandal that has tarnished her success, she is drawn back to the beautiful olive groves and endless azure skies – and to the secrets she has tried hard to forget.

 

Looking down from his hilltop villa, enigmatic tycoon Demetrios Theodosis knows he can’t change the past, and looks to the future through his tempestuous daughter Ariana, but in trying to tame her free spirit, is he driving her further away?

 

Set against bleached white houses bounded by a sapphire sea, a yearning for the truth will compel them both to confront their shared past, and take them back to a distant summer that seemed to hold so much promise …



 Praise for Under A Greek Moon

‘A real treat, wonderfully escapist with heart and drama – marvellous!’ Anton du Beke

‘Utterly engaging, deliciously escapist, with a heart as warm as its author's’ Cathy Kelly, bestselling author of The Family Gift

 

 



Carol Kirkwood is one of the BBC’s most loved TV presenters, best known for presenting the weather. She lights up viewers’ homes every day, appearing on programmes such as BBC Breakfast, Strictly Come Dancing, Wimbledon Tennis Fortnight, and Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

My Review


I am a huge Hellenophile and this book is an amazing debut from Carol Kirkwood. She manages to get under the skin of Greece and the story is beautifully told. How could you not like a book set under the Greek moonlight and fengari just happens to be one of my favourite Greek words.

The story is emotional and carries the reader along. One of those special books that you can't wait to finish but don't want to end. Brilliant.
