Beneath the Orange Blossom

More about the book

A lost love. A devastating secret. And a summer that could change everything... Two years on from her husband's death, dressmaker Ellen is learning how to live again and put memories of a difficult marriage behind her. However, never far from her mind is another memory: Aléxandros, her first love from the summer she turned eighteen. The moment she'd arrived in his hometown of Kardamyli in Greece, Ellen had been intoxicated by the scent of orange blossom in the air, the days of endless sunshine and the sparkling azure waters – but most of all by Aléxandros himself. They were meant to be, until a devastating secret forced Ellen to leave and never look back... But now, when her best friend suggests they recreate their teenage summer in Greece, Ellen knows it's time to confront her past. Will Greece give her the freedom – and happiness - she desperately craves? And there, amid the lush olive groves, could she rediscover the love she thought she'd lost forever? A gloriously escapist and emotional read set under the Grecian sun. Fans of Karen Swan, Victoria Hislop and Carol Kirkwood will love this unforgettable tale of sisterhood, hope and second chances.
