'A slice of escapism ... temptingly conjured up' THE TIMES
'The perfect holiday read, it's impossible to put down' WOMAN'S WEEKLY

The dream holiday just got complicated . . .

On the sun-drenched island of Kefalonia, the new arrivals at The Ionian Escape hotel are hoping for a break from everyday life. But some of them are bringing a lot of baggage . . .

Disgraced TV star Miranda Vallance feels like the worst person in the world. Her sister won't speak to her and her job's on the line. She's desperate to put things right, but how?

Eighty-two-year-old Evelyn Chambers has come to fulfil a promise to the love of her life. If she can steel herself to go through with it, that is . . .

And when celebrity chef Frank Neale checks in, rumours swirl around the hotel. But is it his wife, Leonora, who has more of a reason to escape to Greece?

The Island Getaway is a big-hearted novel from the queen of bestselling fiction, celebrating second chances, true love and the life-affirming joy of unlikely friendships.

'Intricate, colourful, beautifully told . . . Lucy Diamond writes with such charm and warmth' HAZEL PRIOR

Great Summer Listen

I've just listened to this book on audible, aptly whilst on holiday on a Greek island! I absolutely loved it, had a smile on my face throughout most of it. So well written, one of my favourite authors anyway but particularly loved this one. Loved how cleverly it linked between the characters, making me want to hear more of what happened to them all, leaving the ends of chapters with me desperate to hear what they did next but then getting embroiled in the next character. Thank you!

Five Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ which is very apt if you read or listen to it!
