Summary

A woman searching for a different future 

A man desperate to escape his past 

Can they find what they are looking for on the beautiful island of Korčula?  

Antonia Butler is on the brink of a life-changing decision, and a job advert looking for a multilingual housekeeper at a beautifully renovated Croatian farmhouse, Vila Maslina, is one she can’t ignore.

Arriving on the tiny picturesque island of Korčula, Antonia feels a spark of hope for the first time in a long time. This is a chance to leave the past behind.

But this island, and its inhabitants, have secrets of their own and a not-too-distant past steeped in tragedy and war. None more so than Vila Maslina’s enigmatic owner, Damir Maric. A young man with nothing to lose but everything to gain....

Boring

This is more like a boring travelogue than a novel. The deep voice and funny accents used by the narrator for the male characters was very annoying.
