Story
Working for a winemaker in France is the opportunity of a lifetime for Emmy. Even if she doesn't know a thing about wine beyond what's on offer at the local supermarket. There's plenty to get to grips with in the rustic town of Petit Frère. Emmy's new work friends need more than a little winning over. Then there's her infuriatingly brash tutor, Isaac, and the enigmatic Madame Beaumont tucked away in her vineyard of secrets. But Emmy will soon realise that in life - just as in winemaking - the best things happen when you let go and trust your instincts.

Summary
Jo Thomas's irresistible novel transports you straight to the mountains of Crete. A gorgeous, sun-filled new read from the author of The Oyster Catcher, The Olive Branch, and Late Summer in the Vineyard.
We never forget the one who got away.
Eighteen years ago Nell fell in love in the mountains of Crete and life changed forever. Nell's daughter, Demi, has never met her dad. Nell never saw him again.
When she gets the chance to return to the hilltop town of Vounoplagia - where everything began - Nell can't resist the urge to go back and find him.
Working on a honey farm perched high up in the hills, there's plenty to keep her busy. And she will quickly realise the town harbours just as many secrets as she does.
But if Nell's favourite romantic films are right, there's a happy ending in store for each of us. All she has to do is seek out the magic of the mountains....
Jo Thomas takes you there.

Good story
I liked the story, As I listen at night when I can’t sleep I found the volume difficult, i found it was either too loud or if I had it lower I couldn’t hear the whisper, it was a bit frustrating and not relaxing, otherwise loved the story.
