About this listen

 Olivia has settled on the tiny Greek island of Halemni; she is married to a Greek man and is mother of two small sons. As the turquoise of summer dissolves into the cool of autumn, so the rhythm of island life goes on unchanged, until an earthquake ravages the Turkish coast, sending a tidal wave to envelop the island. Its force devastates Halemni, tearing apart the fabric of the small community. In the aftermath, a stranger appears. Kitty, an Englishwoman, is alone and without possessions. She accepts Olivia's offer of refuge in the potter's house, but she guards her past as preciously as Olivia protects her young family.©2001 Rosie Thomas (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

An interesting idea but so long and repetitive and the final chapter didn’t actually cover what happened to poor Kitty in the end ....

Too long

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I actually really liked the story, but the ending was such a flop. I kind of got the feeling that the author just decided to end the book.

A intriguing story about life on an Island in Greece

Excellent narrator. There was a need to finish no matter what happened in the story
