The Other Side Of The Island

More about the book

On a tiny Greek island, a goatherd living a solitary existence receives an unexpected gift that changes his life. A priest rediscovers his true vocation. A former shopgirl flees the city to reinvent herself as a colourful and mysterious grande dame. 'The Other Side of the Island' uncovers a world that is mostly hidden from the gaze of summer visitors. It is a world of shermen and farmers, shopkeepers and odd-job-men, expats and migrant workers, wives and husbands. Their stories are, by turns, poignant, funny, tragic and thought-provoking. The island is us.
