Plain Sailing

The Village Idiots 'Plain Sailing' is the third and final book installment in this moving yet comical trilogy by Sara Alexi. As the story unfolds so too does a journey of self-discovery, as Spiros realises who his true friends are and where his real strengths lie.

Diaries belonging to the late Captain George found on board the wreckage proved to be worth their weight in gold, as the contents led not only to unravelling practical challenges, but also revealed that George was looking out for Spiros in ways he hadn't noticed when George was alive.

And now Takis and Spiros finally have what they wanted from their surprise inheritance; some money! But it's not long before the pair realise the cash is going to be used up in ways they'd rather not spend it.

As bills are piling up Spiros still counts his blessings as he finds himself with money in his pocket for the first time in his life, and uses what little he has to help his dear mother. But for Takis, the costs are a grievance too far, and his duplicitous ways continue to create strife and anxiety for Spiros. And so the tides begin to turn, as Spiros begins to see Takis for who he really is.

Will Spiros finally break free from Takis and his brutish ways? Will their humble inheritances ever bring the happiness they dreamed of? And will Spiros finally dare to dream beyond the only horizons he has ever known?
