Has anyone else read this novel by Deborah Lawrenson? She's an author I didn't know before, but I read this in 24 hours, could hardly put it down.
It's set on Corfu, and about a woman who is trying to solve the mystery of her late mother's relationship with a famous author - a fictionalised version of Lawrence Durrell. Well, it's unexpectedly gripping and the writing is so full of warmth and colour that I almost forgot I was reading it under grim grey skies here!
There's lots to it, as well. The idea of biography and how it can be inaccurate - especially as we may not even know the people closest to us as well as we think. Loved it.
