Welcome to Litsy!

Well that was pants ! So hyped, I found the first 30% of the book (a kindle read in Greece ) so painfully slow with plot lines added in which had no relevance at all to the story or plot . I had put this down and picked it back up a few times and abandoned at one stage to read Elif Sharaks 10 minutes 38 seconds and wow , what a superior book. Really can‘t understand how this has become a Sunday times bestseller very disappointed

What kindles were invented for the holiday bookshop 😎😀 in Greece 🇬🇷 so time to read a novel set in the same country

I thoroughly enjoyed this story of Helena‘s growing love for Greece in the late 60s and 70s, combined with her fear of her Greek grandfather and the slow unravelling of his life and past, intertwined with her growing knowledge of archaeology and appropriation. Easy reading, interesting and completely transports you to Athens and the Greek islands - perfect reading for a sunny end of August weekend.

I enjoyed this story. I loved the descriptions of Greece, the archaeological digs and the relics. It was very vividly depicted. I feel I have learnt something. Who says reading fiction can‘t be educational?! It‘s well researched and proficiently plotted. I liked Helena although she did appear a little naive at times. I found it an easy, engaging and absorbing read, a story to immerse yourself in. #Pigeonhole
