Thalia travels to Greece to achieve closure for her brother's death. Her job is put on hold for ages, yet she manages to go through quite a large amount of money (living expenses, fixing up the ruin of her old family house and so on) - I never quite understand how these people manage! She immediately finds herself juggling sentimental situations with old flames, giving swimming lessons to local children, trying to discover what really happened to her mother (breaking into an old hospital / asylum at midnight, dressed in black - of course! - along with her boyfriend (?) who is amazingly supportive...and so on. I did like the descriptions of the local countryside: stony, sunny, blue sea, etc., but then, what's not to like about Greece? A fair read, no more.
