Summary
What happens when three sisters decide to swap lives for one summer?
A gorgeous and evocative novel about three sisters and a life-changing summer in Corfu.
What if your life worked out perfectly...for someone else?
It's been 18 years since Ava spent the summer on the Greek island of Corfu, but she has never forgotten what happened during those months—or who she left behind.
Now single, estranged from her family, and preparing to wave her daughter off to university, Ava's life seems a million miles away from the one she dreamed about as a teenager—a life now being lived by her sister instead.
When Ava decides to return to Corfu for the summer, she knows she must finally face the place and the people that broke her heart. But with old resentments festering, long-buried secrets lurking, and familiar feelings resurfacing, it looks set to be a holiday that will change all their lives forever....

An entertaining enough take on a Greek holiday ...
...and it's repercussions though I spent a good part of the book distractedly thinking the main character's name was being mispronounced (along with other words which I'll get to in a second) until a frankly bizarre explanation came well into the proceedings. OK, so then add to the above a main Greek character who sounds like...well, Tom Conti in Shirley Valentine, plus a bit of Scandinavian thrown in and I was rather thrown out of the fantasy I wanted about a part of the world I know quite well and love a great deal. However, having whined about all that, the family dynamics played out well to the extent that I'm left wondering how me and my two sisters would have turned out if our parents had been a little more involved in our later lives...
