Just picked this book up today and I'm very excited to start reading it.

For Victoria, orphaned at six, her grandmother Evanthi's beautiful home in Corfu - known locally as The Venetian House - has always meant safety, freedom and a near magical kind of contentment. Brought up by her cousin Guy's parents in England, she - together wit Guy and his childhood friend Richard - always longed for the idyllic summer holidays where they forged a friendship that would last a lifetime. Victoria was mesmerized by brilliant, selfish, enigmatic Guy, but it was safe, affectionate, reliable Richard whom she married.

Now twenty years later, Richard is dead. Victoria discovers her marriage was a sham and, desperate to escape, she takes her son Jake out to The Venetian House, feeling that only in these beloved surroundings can she face her demons.

Then photographer Patrick Hammond arrives. He brings with him is own troubles - his marriage to elegant self-centered, neurotic Rachel is in crisis yet a friendship, and possibly something more, starts to develop between Patrick and Victoria. But for Evanthi there is something strangely familiar about Patrick and soon she is forced to face her own troubled past.

Please journal to say you've found this book (you'll have to register). Enjoy reading it and when you'r done, pass it along to some one, or leave it somewhere for someone else to find; and write up release notes so anyone book hunting knows where to find it. Hope you enjoy.

Was a nice read, took me awhile to get through it, but it was a romance which I always enjoy and the descriptions of the scenery throughout the story really set the scene.

wow, so exciting. never heard of this before. A staff member found it while watering. I have just got back into reading after years of not doing so, so am really looking forward to reading it.

I'm pleased someone found it, it was quite hidden. Book crossing is ideal for getting back into reading. I'm doing the same thing at the moment. It also avoids library fines and its far more exciting than a library. I'd be keen to start a Official Book crossing zone in hamilton somewhere (where you get permission from say a cafe owner) to put a small shelf in the store where people can leave books and pick them up etc. Hope you enjoy finding out all about book crossing.

enjoyed reading the book. took forever and did not quite finish. have left it in Raglan at the YHA in the Kitchen at the Tipi area.
