Beside the Turquoise Sea is the latest novel from author Emma Burstall to be published via Boldwood Books.
Can one magical Crete villa change everything?
Now her children have moved out, Edie has begun to feel lonely in the home she shares with her husband. She hopes returning to Crete, where she and Ralph spent their honeymoon, will help heal the growing rift between them.
And when Edie stumbles upon the website for the Villa Ariadne, with its breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings, it feels like the perfect place to spend a week together, along with their closest friends Mac and Hannah. But then, Edie invites a fifth guest: her feisty, independent colleague Jessica, with unexpected consequences.
It’s clear from the moment they arrive that the villa is special, and under the golden Greek sun, Edie hopes to rekindle the relationship she’s felt slipping away from her. But when conflict arises between two of her fellow guests, will Edie be prepared for revelations that could change her life forever?
Beside the Turquoise Sea is a beautifully written novel set against the sun-drenched backdrop of Crete. It’s full of love, friendship, regret, and renewal, which is thought-provoking.
The story unfolds at a steady pace, gradually peeling back layers of each character. By the end, the reader is left with a sense of quiet resolution. Not all problems are solved, but change has begun, and it feels believable.
