On this, the seventh novel in the series, Sara Alexi introduces us not to more existing residents of the village but Sarah, who travels there with family and friends in order to attend her son's wedding.  The village (and Greece) in particular weave their magic on Sarah as she re-evaluates the meaning of her life and considers what is really important.  And again, Sara Alexi writes with perfect pace to have the reader slow down to the pace of the village, experience the dryness and heat and beauty of the place; I found myself literally relaxing, slowing myself down as I read and would stop from time to time to consider the meaning of life and the wisdoms shared.  This is such an intelligent writer and thinker that you'll be pleased to have discovered her books. I'm just glad I still have some of the books to read; I cannot wait.
