SUMMARY

Change Your Life for €1.

Skye is not impulsive, but when she sees a derelict Greek cottage for sale by lottery for one euro, she applies. She needs a fresh start far from London and her husband. Weeks later, she feels disheartened as she opens the tattered blue door, questioning whether it can ever be her home. During renovations, she finds a bundle of faded letters behind a wall that reveal a story of love, tragedy, and bravery. Meanwhile, Sky’s own past is always on her mind, reminding her that fate will follow no matter how far she runs. But what was she running from?

REVIEW

I loved Skye’s intriguing and mysterious story. Author Izzy Broom’s fabulous descriptions of the remote Greek island of Folegandros were fabulous. Mountains, a cobalt blue sky, a ribbon of sea, and a church high on a distant hill all serve as the backdrop for Skye’s new backyard. The book pulled me into the story, and I wanted to join Skye and help her renovate her crumbling cottage.

The story weaves a quick-moving and fascinating tale featuring three threads: Skye and her past, her new community on the island, and the thrilling story of love and tragedy told in the letters she found. All of the characters are simply engaging.  Read it, and you’ll love it!

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for an advance copy of this book. All opinions expressed here are my own.
