Author(s): Jennifer Barclay

Travel Writing

I came here looking for some kind of happiness. I think it might be the cleverest thing I have ever done. One difficult winter when her love life falls apart (and so does she), Jen decides on Three Gifts to Self. Gift One and Two are reducing her workload and staying away from relationships for a while. Gift Three, the most important, is a month alone on a tiny, wild Greek island. It's a chance to find another kind of contentment: one that comes from the sun and the sea, from the aroma of herbs on the mountains and holding an octopus in your hands. She decides to act on her dream of staying for longer . because life is too short not to reach out for what makes us happy. But just when everything is falling into place again, the strangest thing happens∞c Falling in Honey is an honest, mouth-watering mix of comedy and romance, and an unforgettable journey from heartbreak to happiness.

'Made me want to run away to a Greek island.' -- Helena Frith Powell 'This book will make you laugh and cry and laugh again. I didn't want it to end...' -- Emma Woolf 'Captures the gentle pace of island life with great charm. A joy to read.' -- Harry Bucknall 'Unlucky in love? If you can't escape to an idyllic Greek island Falling in Honey is the next best thing.' -- John Mole 'What makes Falling in Honey so gripping is the clear adoration that Jennifer feels for the country she now calls home. Through exquisite descriptions and very honest revelations soon she's not the only one falling head over heels. One way ticket to Greece anyone?' Wanderlust 'Jennifer never expected to find love when she followed her dream... love was the last thing she was looking for... Her remarkable story, about which she has written a moving book, has more than an echo of Shirley Valentine about it.' The Daily Express 'beautifully conveys Jennifer's gentle integration into island life with her obvious delight at finding joy in simple pleasures.' Lady Hiker in Cyprus 'It's genuinely the kind of book anyone interested in Greece would enjoy.' EuGREEKA Newsletter
