About this listen
In this emotional novel based on Greece's real history, we follow three generations of one family, broken apart by secrets and war, as Olivia travels to the island of her mother's birth to piece together a century's worth of her family's past.
On the Greek island of Castellorizo, young Sofía must put her big dreams on hold to support her older sister Maria with her large family. But World War II is looming and while the idyllic island may seem far from harm at first, there are unspeakable dangers on the horizon—perils that will change the sisters' lives forever....
Devastated by her divorce and the death of her dear mum, Olivia seeks solace on Castellorizo. Her Granny Sofía fled the beautiful Greek island during the war, but Olivia knows little else about her family's history. The only link to the Island she has left is her elderly great-uncle George. As his memory begins to fail, Olivia feels her one chance at uncovering the truth about her grandmother start to slip away.
As a mother's sacrifice echoes throughout the generations, will Olivia discover some things are best left in the past?

Summer of Secrets Greek Island nostalgia
Another great story based on historical fact taking the reader back to traditional Greek life on the islands, but also relating it to present day. I was right there with them...

Great book
I have listened to a few book by Patricia Wilson. They are all great. Her historical research is amazing and the stories she develops are so intriguing and intoxicating. Her books are a joy and I believe that history should be taught via her books in schools. Everyone would fall in love with history!

I found it distressing
I had to skip a lot of the book (the fire) as I found the content distressing

Not the best of stories
The jumping between the past and the present on this start was too much for me and the narrators voice put me off . I gave up after an hour .
