About The Letter from the Island (Unabridged)
A heart-breaking and uplifting story of a family torn apart by war and a devastating secret that echoes down the generations.
Every week Calliope writes a letter to her twin sister who died sixty years ago. One day, she receives a letter back…
2005, London. Living alone in her basement flat, Calliope desperately misses the sun-soaked olive groves of the Greek island home she left more than sixty years ago. When the letter postmarked from Crete lands on her doorstep, she is shocked to the core by what it says. Her twin sister is alive: We need to talk about what happened.
Now Calliope must confess her lifetime of secrets to her beloved granddaughter Ella. She needs Ella’s help…
1943, Crete. Calliope clutches the baby to her chest as they run down the cliff path to the blue water of the harbour. The boat the Allies sent won’t wait forever. If only she’d reached the village sooner, her twin sister would still be alive. She will never forgive herself, but she must stay strong for the baby.
Calliope must make one final journey home. And what her and her granddaughter discover in Crete will change the course of their lives forever…
