Why a Booktrail?
2000s: A long summer holiday on the beautiful island of Corfu is just what Izzy Jordan needs…isn’t it?
The Holiday
What you need to know before your trail
Torn between struggling to live up to the expectations of being a Modern Woman and ridding herself of the effect of a repressed upbringing, Izzy Jordan would be the first to admit that it’s time to take stock of her life. She’s thirty-one, with a teaching career on the skids – not surprising, really, given that she harbours a strong desire to lock her pupils in the art room cupboard and throw away the key. She also has a manipulative mother and an ex-boyfriend whose parting shot was to tell her she was boring in bed!
So when she’s invited to spend the summer on Corfu and is offered the chance of a no-strings holiday romance with the irresistible Theo, what should she do? Go for it, or listen to the voice of Modern Woman and tell him to sling his hook? Just as she thinks she’s made up her mind, along comes Mark, whose turbulent past sets in motion a series of dramatic events.
Travel Guide
Corfu
Imagine falling in love with the island of Corfu as soon as you see it? Yup not hard to imagine at all. Falling in love with Villa Petros, a beautiful home tucked in to the verdant hillside of cypress trees.
There’s a secluded beach, the place where you are going to spend your first real holiday in the fictional Ayios Nikolas.
You go a restaurant and make the sign of a cup with your hand to get a drink. You order strong coffee, a glass of ouzo, something with olives in the glass no doubt and then something with feta cheese for supper overlooking the Greek waters….
That’s this book and more!
