The Greek House

Dinah Jefferies

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Highly recommend for your summer reading' Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Can one house hold a lifetime of secrets?
Corfu, 1930
The moment Thirza Caruthers sets foot on Corfu, memories flood back: the scent of jasmine, the green shutters of her family’s home — and her brother Billy’s tragic disappearance years before.
Returning to the Greek house, high above clear blue waters, Thirza tries to escape by immersing herself in painting — and a passionate affair.
But as webs of love, envy, and betrayal tighten around the family, buried secrets surface.
Is it finally time to uncover the truth about Billy’s vanishing?
––––––––––––––––––––
'The Greek House is absolutely sumptuous. Dinah Jefferies at her best. I devoured every page of this stunning novel with enormous pleasure' Santa Montefiore
‘I was totally absorbed by this page-turning tale of love, loss and heartbreak in a troubled period of Corfu’s history. The island is beautifully evoked, the characters gloriously alive and passionate' Rachel Hore
'A powerful story … the women are strong and complex … this is Dinah Jefferies' best yet' Gill Paul
As the 20th century unfolds on Corfu, this historical mystery turns a return home into a reckoning, where fiction and romance meet the sharp edge of truth. From the Sunday Times bestselling author, the stories hidden behind green shutters lead Thirza to the answer she has feared for years.
For fans of Kristin Hannah (The Nightingale), Lucinda Riley (The Seven Sisters), Ariel Lawhon (When We Had Wings), Harry Whittaker (The Last Love Song), and Ann Bennett (The Fortune Teller of Kathmandu).
