Some family stories only make sense when you finally slow down enough to listen.
When Katerina and her South African husband, Gary, arrive in the village of Spilia, they expect a Cretan holiday of sunshine, beaches and leisurely frapp廥. But Kat hasn't been back to the village since she was a teenager, and she's forgotten that making plans isn't the way things work in the village, especially when the whole Greek family is involved.
Instead, they find themselves swept straight into village life, where meals stretch late into the evening, neighbours appear unannounced and everyone knows everyone else's business. As they settle into the gentle siga-siga pace, Kat's curiosity is pulled back to her late grandfather's old bunker, the one she was strictly forbidden from entering as a girl, and where his prized musical instrument has been locked away ever since locals came looking for it after his death.
Between beach plans and constant family interruptions, actually getting inside the bunker is easier said than done. Yet as Kat listens to stories of the old days, she begins to realise that her grandparents were much bigger characters than she ever gave them credit for.
Filled with humour, warmth and rich characters, Back to the Village is a celebration of Greek culture, family, belonging and the people and places that never truly leave us.
Perfect for readers who want to get swept up in a fully immersive, proper story on a Saturday afternoon, it is a true love letter to Crete and to the stories that came before us.
Mountains, sea views and tradition, what's not to love?
