It is the late 1960s & after her strict English boarding school Angel is delighted to be back on Crete the island she loves. She & her friend Chrissi are planning to while away the long summer days as theyve always done before hanging out together playing pranks on their unsuspecting neighbours & generally running wild on the mountainside. But when tragedy strikes at the heart of Angels family she & Chrissi resolve to run away together. For two girls on the brink of womanhood the turmoil that is Greece at that time makes it a dangerous place to be. As Angel falls in love tragedy strikes a second time... Following the success of The House of Dust & Dreams Brenda Reid draws us back to Crete in this delightful coming of age story.
