'Lyrical, twisty short stories' Evening Standard

A collection of stunning short stories from the million-copy bestselling author of The Island. Three of these stories were previously published in Victoria Hislop's ebook collection, One Cretan Evening.

In ten powerful stories, Victoria Hislop takes us through the streets of Athens and into the tree-lined squares of Greek villages. As she evokes their distinct atmosphere, she brings vividly to life a host of unforgettable characters, from a lonesome priest to battling brothers, and from an unwanted stranger to a groom troubled by music and memory.

These bittersweet tales of love and loyalty, of separation and reconciliation, captured in Victoria Hislop's unique voice, will stay with you long after you reach the end.

Stories where good but too short, I enjoyed them and listening to them but just not long enough as just as you got into the story it would end. Some good full length books here just waiting to be finished.

Could not enjoy listening to this as the narrator spoke too fast. Have always enjoyed reading the books - maybe audio isn’t for me?

Very Short Stories

Any additional comments?

I like Victoria Hislop's novels and look forward to her next book but I was disappointed with these stories as they were too short.
