Beneath a Greek Sky

Discover a BRAND NEW emotional, escapist read from Patricia Wilson that will grip readers of Lucinda Riley and Emma Cowell.

On the eve of her wedding, Sylvia receives a mysterious gift: a handcrafted quilt from relatives she has never met. But this is no ordinary heirloom. Each square tells the hidden, tumultuous story of her mother and grandmother's lives in Greece, a past Sylvia has never known.

Sylvia's mother, Ria, fears the truths woven into the quilt. Yet as she begins to restore its delicate squares, fragments of long-buried memories surface.

Square by square, the quilt unveils a story of love and loss, courage and survival, taking the reader from Liverpool to Spinalonga, a small Cretan island whose beauty masks a tragic history.

A moving tale of family, memory, and the secrets that shape generations, this novel will stay with you long after the final stitch is revealed.
