Penny, Dora, Nell and Moira, friends since they were at college together, had always meant to keep in touch, but life got in the way.

So when Penny gets an unexpected legacy, she decides not to tell her overbearing husband but to spend it instead on a reunion on the sun-drenched Greek island they visited at eighteen, to rediscover the happiness of those hippy-dippy days. But many years later, what was a tiny village full of donkeys and cafes is now a major tourist attraction. And the friends have to face the fact that their own personal difficulties - unsatisfactory marriages, ungrateful children or the loneliness of a single life - can't always be cured by a holiday in the sun.
On the way back to Athens, they stop at a tiny island, not yet on the tourist map. In Kyri, they find an opportunity to re-invent, to contribute to a community needing their help and, at the same time, to recapture lost romance and have some healing fun.

More significant still, will they relearn the most valuable lesson of all: the true importance of their friendship?
Funny, warm and poignant, with her trademark wit and wisdom - this is Maeve Haran at her very best.
