In a small Greek island village, a group of travelers from
around the world and the local residents they encounter are
brought together in unexpected ways when sudden tragedy
strikes. In her inimitable style, Maeve Binchy shares with
readers the lives of these strangers, learning their hopes,
dreams, and fears as they move forward, forever changed by
their experience.
Here is the story of old Andreas, the gentle taverna owner
who has spent many years regretting the argument that drove
his only son to America; Elsa, the beautiful German
reporter who gave up her television career and the man she
loves once she learned the secret he hid from her; and
Fiona, the Irish nurse and dutiful daughter, who’s gone off
to travel with the man everyone says is wrong for her,
determined to show them all—even if everyone is right. This
is also the story of David, the only son who loves his
family but not the family business; Thomas, the Californian
who is able to cope with his recent divorce but not with
sharing his son with his wife’s new husband; and Vonni, who
rashly left behind her life in Ireland to follow her true
love to this village thirty years ago—and who is wise for
everyone but herself.
