★★★★★ 'Highly recommend for your summer reading' Reader Review ★★★★★ Can one house hold a lifetime of secrets? Corfu, 1930 The moment Thirza Caruthers sets foot on Corfu, memories flood back: the scent of jasmine, the green shutters of her family's home - and her brother Billy's tragic disappearance years before. Returning to the Greek house, high above clear blue waters, Thirza tries to escape by immersing herself in painting - and a passionate affair. But as webs of love, envy, and betrayal tighten around the family, buried secrets surface. Is it finally time to uncover the truth about Billy's vanishing? -------------------- 'The Greek House is absolutely sumptuous. Dinah Jefferies at her best. I devoured every page of this stunning novel with enormous pleasure' Santa Montefiore `I was totally absorbed by this page-turning tale of love, loss and heartbreak in a troubled period of Corfu's history. The island is beautifully evoked, the characters gloriously alive and passionate' Rachel Hore 'A powerful story . the women are strong and complex . this is Dinah Jefferies' best yet' Gill Paul
