This book is the perfect summer escapism. Given the current climate in the world, I am not going to be going abroad this year but with this book, I don't think I need to. Sue describes such wonderful places with such detail that I felt like I was right there with Anna and Demi. I have definitely added some places to my bucket list after this book. They visit such wonderful places and eat all the food. I was quite jealous of the food!
I'm definitely yearning for a road trip through Europe after reading this. I'm also wanting another trip to Greece. I've been to a few places in Greece and its islands but I've not been to Kefalonia. I think it will have to be my next trip. I'm part greek and I love visiting. I love the food, the atmosphere and did I mention the food!
Anna and Demi are such great characters. The main character is Anna but Demi is such a character that you just have to speak about her too. For a 69-year-old she's doing very well! Anna is at a crossroads and is trying to figure out where to go with her life. I think it's something we can all relate to. There is a little romance in this book too but the main focus is Anna and Demi and their journey.
If you are in need of an escapism book full of beautiful locations as well as a little romance then this is for you.
