From the intriguing prologue to the very last page I was captivated by this novel. Two women, a century apart, betrayed by lovers escape to the sunny island of Crete. A wonderful dual timeline novel. I loved it. I've holidayed in Crete before and was transported back there. Wonderful descriptions of the food, the scenery topped of by a great storyline.
