A lovely feel-good story, taking place in a small town in Greece. Five tourists, from different countries meet up in a taverna, while a boat sinks in the harbour down the hill from where they are. The tragedy brings them together, and they all stay for several more weeks, addressing their own and each other's problems back home.

Didn’t Like It

I had almost no response to this book, apart from being generally bored by it. Too many characters, too little story, and only a modicum of decent writing, if that. But, I have participated in the cultural phenomenon that is Maeve Binchy, so I feel somehow more relevant now. I am not impressed.
