About this listen

A gloriously sunny book of family secrets, lost loves and self-discovery, One Summer in Crete by Nadia Marks is an enchanting holiday read.

‘If you don’t think you’re about to get to Crete this is the next best thing’ – Vanessa Feltz

Calli’s world has fallen apart – her relationship is suddenly over and her chances of starting a family are gone. So when she’s sent to write a magazine article about the Greek island of Ikaria, it seems the perfect escape.

Travelling to Crete, where her family is from, Calli soon realizes there is more to discover than paradise beaches and friendly locals. When her aunt Froso begins to share the story of her own teenage heartache, will the love, betrayal and revenge she reveals change Calli’s life forever?

Travel further with Secrets Under the Sun and Between the Orange Groves by Nadia Marks.

This is a good listen, the narrator is very easy to listen to, however the storyline is very predictable. Perfect if you just want to relax without to much thinking.

Good story but a little predictable

A little slice of Greek heaven, although I ultimately guessed what would happen at the end only a way in, it didn’t matter and still made the book a joy to read!

I enjoyed this story - all the more as I listened to it in Crete. The story has surprising twists & turns, evoked both sadness & joy. The story explores friendship, trauma, long held secrets, love, trusting your intuition and family. I read this book 2 years ago when last in Crete & enjoyed the voices this time around with the characters multicultural accents that were pretty well done.

Great read & listen
