Reseña del editor:

Book 3 of the Peloponnese series

Following on from the first two acclaimed books (Things Can Only Get Feta and Homer’s Where The Heart Is), Marjory, Jim and their crazy dog Wallace are on a second odyssey in the southern Peloponnese but this time they end up in a peninsula they didn’t choose, and a house they never thought they’d live in. How did this happen? Easy, this is Greece and nothing ever goes to plan.

The couple’s latest adventure in Koroni, on the Messinian peninsula, takes them on another perilous and funny journey, with house rental dramas, scorpion threats, the challenge of Greek language classes, and an unexpected publishing battle. But when they finally fall for the charm of unspoilt Koroni, make new friends and connect with some of the memorable characters from their Mani days, they discover once more just how Greek is their love. And there’s not even a sting in the tale. Well ... almost!

"Beautifully written, every page has something new and interesting. She is truly a very talented writer." Amazon reviewer.

"She has a lightness of touch that even makes reading about the dark shadows cast by the economic crisis a joy." Richard Clark, author of the Greek Notebook series.
