When Cleo arrives at Villa Ariadne on the sun-drenched island of Crete, she's hoping for space to breathe - and perhaps some clarity about the life she no longer recognises. Newly divorced and estranged from one of her children, she's not sure what comes next.
Sharing the villa with a small group of women, each carrying their own private heartaches, Cleo is drawn into the gentle rhythm of island life. Beneath the lemon trees and endless blue skies, friendships begin to form and long-buried hopes stir.
But when an unexpected event shakes their peaceful escape, the women are forced to come together in ways none of them anticipated. And as Villa Ariadne works its quiet magic once more, Cleo may discover that even in uncertainty, second chances are still possible.
