Publisher's Summary

A woman searching for a different future

A man desperate to escape his past

Can they find what they are looking for on the beautiful island of Korčula?

Antonia Butler is on the brink of a life-changing decision and a job advert looking for a multilingual housekeeper at a beautifully renovated Croatian farmhouse, Vila Maslina, is one she can’t ignore.

Arriving on the tiny picturesque island of Korčula, Antonia feels a spark of hope for the first time in a long time. This is a chance to leave the past behind.

But this island, and its inhabitants, have secrets of their own and a not-too-distant past steeped in tragedy and war. None more so than Vila Maslina’s enigmatic owner Damir Maric. A young man with nothing to lose but everything to gain…

‘An absorbing, compelling read perfect for escaping into after a stressful day’ Joanna

‘What can I say, absolutely beautiful book and I just could not put it down’ Odette

‘The most magical setting…I was transported to another country and loved how all of my senses were stimulated by the evocative descriptive writing’ Laura

‘A story of finding peace after a childhood damaged by the war… One of those books you thought about when you were not reading it’ Rosamund

A lovely story, tinged with the reality of a war torn country and the sadness of families torn apart’ Jill
