Full of local colour and tradition this is a little slow to start but certainly builds to unexpected conclusions.

You’ll feel you’re in Greece as soon as you start reading * Frost Magazine, on Secrets of Santorini *Packed with intrigue, danger and romance, Wilson’s passion for the classics and an endless fascination with foraging into the vibrant corners of history, this is a poignant and beautifully written story best read on a sunlounger with a glass of chilled ouzo * Lancashire Telegraph, on Secrets of Santorini *

Patricia Wilson was born in Liverpool and has lived on Crete before settling on Rhodes. She was first inspired to write when she unearthed a rusted machine gun in her garden, an artifact from World War II events on Crete. The elderly women who had lived through those events shared their stories with Patricia, leading to her celebrated debut novel, Island of Secrets, which sold 150,000 copies.
