I love this author and feel like I have grown up with them as have read all of their books since the very beginning.

This was an uplifting heartwarming read although certain aspects were quite sad and heartbreaking. I loved the characters and how each of them had their own story. And each chapter was dedicated to a different character.

Loved the descriptions of the setting which made you want to get on a plane and jet off in search of sunnier climes.

This was a poignant beautiful read

This is lovely, uplifting book, full of vividly portrayed characters in beautiful Kefalonia.
Simply, a delight to read. I enjoyed this book from page one.

Deliciously Escapist..
On the island of Kefalonia, basking in the warmth and the heat of a Greek sun, sits The Ionian Escape Hotel. This popular place is bustling with new arrivals , all looking for an escape from the everyday, hoping for a break in the sun - but, what are they bringing with them? Beautifully observed and deliciously escapist, in a well imagined setting, a cast of glorious characters is brought to life - baggage and all. Compelling and engaging,

Fell in love with Evelyn from the get go- her personal mission was perfectly described in a mixture of emotions, reflections and interactions with the other guests.
Each chapter tells a little more about one of the characters and all are deftly woven through so the book feels like it flows naturally from person to person.
The blurb quotes are not wrong that it is an uplifting read, once you have dried your tears!
