How would you feel to find out, completely out of the blue, that there is an inheritance waiting for you on the famous island of Corfu in Greece. Molly Adams was the lucky one, although she was unable to connect the dots of the relationship between her and the generous Vaggelis Vlachos who included her in her will.
Taking the challenge though, she may find surprinsingly that she may need to share the unexpected inheritance with the the handsome entrepreneur Christos, completely uninterested in sharing 50% of a boat, apartment or 25% of a cat. At least he knew Vlachos, as his godfather, therefore half of the mystery in this case was solved.
Would Christos and Molly be able to work together? Or would this surprising summer lead to something equally unexpected few months ago?
A Greek Island Gift by bestseller romace writer Mandy Baggot is a sweet rom-com set on the inviting background of Corfu´s Kassiopi. A recommended read for armchair travellers and romance lovers or just if you are looking for your literary inspiration for your travels.
Traveling to a new place may be as challenging as an unexpected life change, and the ways in which characters in this book embrace change is analysed in its complexity by the author. Far from idealizing the changes, it shows the challenges and the human ways in which we can adapt.
In the end, not all of us may inherit 25% of a cat, but at least we can get used with the idea that things out of our control may happen, although not necessarily bad ones.
For me, A Greek Island Gift was a full immersion into the dynamics between characters and the unique Greek life, an unexpected romance for anyone that will never give up believing that love may appear most probably when you are not looking for it.
