Description
Escape to Greece in this moving story of love and secrets, set across a century of family history. From Nadia Marks, Among the Lemon Trees is a bestselling holiday romance and the perfect beach read. For fans of Victoria Hislop's Cartes Postales from Greece.
Anna thought her marriage to Max would last forever.
Having raised two happy children together, she looked forward to growing old with the man she loved. But, just before their wedding anniversary, a revelation from her husband shakes her entire world - and she's left uncertain of what the future holds.
Needing time to herself, Anna takes up an offer from her widowed father to spend the summer on the small Aegean island of his birth - unaware that the chance discovery of letters in her aunt's house will unleash a host of family secrets.
Kept hidden for sixty years, these letters reveal a tumultuous family history, beginning in Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century and ending in Naples at the close of the Second World War.
Confronted by their family's long-buried truths, both father and daughter are shaken by the discovery. And Anna begins to realize that, if she is to ever heal the present, she must first understand the past . . .
Travel further with Secrets Under the Sun and Between the Orange Groves by Nadia Marks.
