A letter from the past. A wartime secret buried on a Greek island. A truth that will echo across generations…
When Trisha receives an unexpected letter to her Liverpool home, it opens a decades’ old mystery, drawing her back into her family’s forgotten past, the horrors of war, and a small island off the coast of Greece…
Eighty years earlier, on the island of Milos, Dora is dreaming of a better life, free from the oppression of the occupying army and, closer to home, the brutal rule of her father, an infamous horse breeder.
Then a German cargo ship is bombed in the harbour, killing dozens of the men on board. The islanders trawl the waters for spoilage from the wreckage – finding among the debris a badly injured man, who may just hold the awful truth about what happened.
Dora soon finds this man under her care, and it changes her life forever, introducing her to the possibility of love and freedom for the first time… But Dora cannot know, as she nurses the stranger back to health, that her actions will have devastating consequences for her beloved island. Consequences that will last for generations…
On the island of Milos, one act of compassion will change a life forever – and leave consequences that last for decades.
The Islanders Daughter ticks a lot of boxes for me as a reader before i even open the first page. It’s set in Greece and is full of wartime secrets that have lasting impact on people.
From the very first page you feel like you are in Greece. It’s a story that draws you immediately. It’s beautifully written and well plotted and extremely emotive. It will make you feel all the feels
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and if you like books that are full of emotion, then this is one for you!
