Look no further for your 2017 summer read!
High up in the sun soaked hills of the Greek Island of Orino, An Island Too Small is a tale of suspense and emotion which unravels the complex webs woven over years by unfulfilled lovers and dishonest friends.
When Nefeli's mother dies, much to her surprise, she discovers she is to inherit a cottage on Orino Island. Nefeli's parents didn't ever talk about life on the island, and it is only as Nefeli begins to acquaint herself with her new home that their reasons for secrecy start to become clear.
Set up in the town's hill tops, many steps up from the port, Nefeli's new neighbour Adonis and his cantankerous mother Koula live next door, sharing just two rooms between them. Adonis, yet to find his way in the world, is a handsome man who makes a living providing company for female tourists and then selling the gifts they buy for him. But it's hardly a steady job and Adonis regularly lives hand to mouth.
Not one to be taken in by good looks, Nefeli finds there is a strong connection with Adonis which is more than skin deep, and it is a connection that neither of them can ignore. But their lives are already intertwined more than they realise and Koula has other ideas, going to great lengths to keep Nefeli and Adonis apart.
What secrets are being harboured by Koula, driving her to stop a burgeoning love? What will Nefeli and Adonis discover about their past, and will they be able to defy Koula's meddling?
As tensions build and dark goings on are exposed, find out if love can prevail over deceit.
