Nights of Rain and Stars: Four strangers, a beautiful Greek island and a summer that will change their lives forever...

Nice place set on a Greek Island where four strangers lives become entwined and live the sad fate of an aftermath of an accident in the community. Romance friendship and responsibility are themes but its escapist and romantic. An easy read even though its not one of her best novels.

Another re-read from many years ago and as good as ever! Aghia Anna is far off the beaten tourist track in Greece; and yet four people from separate countries all find themselves there at the same time, each having left home and looking for somewhere to settle. When a tragedy strikes the small community, they feel affected and it brings them together with the locals. Vonni is an Irish woman who has lived in the village for what feels like a lifetime and she becomes intertwined in all their lives. You can’t fail to become interested in each life in this novel; they are so beautifully crafted that each and every person seems real, as do their issues. There is, however, far more to this story that just a few tourists; each character has their own part to play and wisdom to impart. It is an absolutely gorgeous story from beginning to end – the kind which sweeps you up and into it until you can imagine the hot Greek sun beating down. A glorious read, so very enjoyable; I wonder how I ever forgot it? A full five glowing stars, without any hesitation and my highest recommendation.

This book is a must read, i first read this when i was about 15, although family members thought it would be too old for me in the nature, i thoroughly enjoyed it, even now i remember the story well, almost like a movie, in fact it should be made into a movie it was that good, id pay kindly to see it, definately read this book!!!
