This inspiring and true adventure story is about the author and her husband’s journey to find beauty and meaning on the little known Island of Lefkas. The realistic descriptions of the people and places in the evocatively Greek environment take you right there with them, sharing in this heart-warming venture. The text moves along at a comfortable pace, and the prose is vivid and full of memorable images that contrast the Island’s beauty with their traveling hardships. Follow them on their journey and find out if they found the secret of true happiness, or were they merely chasing dreams?
Rachel Lamb’s future was not looking good. A second class degree in a subject no-one wanted followed by a career as a Christmas Elf and icing funny faces on biscuits was not a good start. Then she saw an ad for a Hostess with a tiny sailing company in Greece – and everything changed. There were yachts, sailing, mad guys to work with, crazy clients and, eventually, true love. But, A Very Greek Romance is far more than just a romantic adventure. It’s the story of a young woman’s voyage of discovery to find herself, in every way, told by master story teller Frank Melling with a warmth, affection and honesty which you will love.
1938. A perfect summer on the Greek island of Lefkas for three young people untroubled by the simmering politics of Europe. Peter, visiting from Germany while his father leads an archaeological dig, has become close friends with locals Andreas and Eleni. As the world slides towards conflict and Peter is forced to leave, they swear to meet again.
1943. Andreas and Eleni have joined the partisan forces resisting the German invasion. Peter has returned – now a dangerously well-informed enemy intelligence officer. A friendship formed in peace will turn into a desperate battle between enemies sworn to sacrifice everything for the countries that they love . . .
He stood, rooted to the spot, panic mounting with the sense of remembered evil. Slowly, he moved to the gallery, his imagination running riot, his thoughts taking a frightening turn. Then, in the torch’s beam he saw mammoth after mammoth, clearly cut with deep lines, scratches running deep into their bodies… The love-hate relationship between a young man and the anthropologist who adopted him starts in Amsterdam and moves swiftly to Malta and the isles of Greece. The consuming passion of the old man’s life is his dedicated pursuit of the origins of early man. And the son, as he gradually uncovers his father’s past, begins to understand what drives him so relentlessly.
