Alexis Fielding longs to find out about her mother's past. But Sofia has never spoken of it. All she admits to is growing up in a small Cretan village before moving to London. When Alexis decides to visit Crete, however, Sofia gives her daughter a letter to take to an old friend... Arriving in Plaka, Alexis is astonished at its proximity to the deserted island of Spinalonga - Greece's former leper colony. Then she finds Fortini, and hears the tale of her great-grandmother Eleni and her daughters, and a family rent by tragedy, war and passion. She discovers how intimately she is connected with the island, and how secrecy holds them all in its powerful grip...

The Return

Genre Fiction

THE RETURN Beneath the majestic towers of the Alhambra, Granada's cobbled streets resonate with music and streets. Sonia Cameron knows nothing of the city's shocking past; she is here to dance. But in a quiet cafe, a chance conversation and an intriguing collection of old photographs draw her into the extraordinary tale of Spain's devastating civil war. Seventy years earlier, the cafe is home to the close-knit Ramirez family. In 1936, an army coup led by Franco shatters the country's fragile peace, and in the heart of Granada the family witnesses the worst atrocities of conflict. Divided by politics and tragedy, everyone must take a side, fighting a personal battle as Spain rips itself apart.

In present-day Granada, where Sonia Cameron is learning flamenco, a chance conversation with an older man and a collection of photographs of a once-famous flamenco dancer draw her into a tale of romance amid the tragedy of the Spanish Civil War.
