Review: A Different Angle
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 8, 2014
I have read all of Sara's books and, every time I do, I get a hankering to go to Greece, see the country and meet these (mostly) loveable characters.  This book was no exception.  The main difference between this book and the preceding 6 in the series is that this story is set mainly about 24 years in the past - only in the last chapter do we catch up to the present.  The main character in the storyline this time is Theo who, by the end of the book, owns the kafeneio in the village.  The author develops Theo's character well.  When he travelled to Athens and had some bad experiences, I felt frustrated for him but Theo himself tells us how these times change him and his attitude to what happens further in the plot.  The only thing that didn't gel with me, and the reason for the 4 stars, was that although Theo is basically an honest man, he steals money to pay back what he took from his father.  OK, he stole from a slimey character, but what does that make Theo?To sum up, I love Sara's writing, always find it difficult to put her books down, and will look forward to Book 8 in the series.
