The House by the River by Lena Manta

The Last Dance and Other Stories by Victoria Hislop is set in Greece – both in Athens and the country’s villages. Hislop has travelled widely in Greece (her bestselling novel Cartes Postales also takes place there) – she expertly portrays the special atmosphere of each setting and its characters.

FYI – I actually came across this novel when browsing online; I bought it from a site called Very Special Editions, as it was signed by Hislop herself (I’m a big fan…) – the store focuses on limited and unique editions of books. What’s also nice is that they have an offer gives you 10% off a book if you’re a member of 카지노싸이트 and use the code GOODREADS10 – might be useful over the festive period. Free first-class recorded delivery is included.

Merry Christmas 😊

I'm actually reading this right now and loving it! Thanks for the info about the book website - I'll be checking that out x

Let Me Dream written by Harry Lavis, that's me.
I am very excited to see all these books, some of them by Greek authors, while others are written by foreign..
My book starts in Mykonos, Greece, then travel around some other places of the country, but this is not all. The hero goes out of the borders of Greece and not just for one time. Mainly he is visiting Europe and other surprising places, too :)
Unfortunately, you can only read a part of it, since it is on a pre-order status now.
