We are escaping to Corfu for Mandy Baggot’s<\/b> latest romcom, A Greek Island Gift<\/i> which was published by Boldwood Books<\/b> on April 29th.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>
An unexpected gift\u2026 A home in paradise?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>Molly Adams<\/span>
\n finds out she\u2019s inherited an apartment in Kassiopi, Corfu, she\u2019s left
\nthinking there must be some mistake. She doesn\u2019t know anyone in Greece
\nat all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But when she arrives there\u2019s a shock. Molly
\nhasn\u2019t inherited a whole apartment, it\u2019s only 50%. But there\u2019s more –
\nshe\u2019s also inherited 50% of a boat, 50% of an olive tree and\u2026 25% of a
\ncat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Christos Baros<\/span>
\nis coming home to Corfu for the summer. A self-made entrepreneur, owning
\n three gyms in Athens, he has no need for half an apartment, half a
\nboat, half an olive tree or a quarter of a cat, but he knows these
\nthings are important to his mother.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Molly and
\nChristos\u2019s worlds collide in a whirlwind and the irresistible charm of
\nthe Greek island draws them even closer together. But as they uncover
\nthe secrets of their shared inheritance, will they discover that
\nsometimes, sharing what you never wanted can lead to exactly what you
\nneed?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This summer, join Molly and
\n Christos in Corfu as they try to work out if one shared Greek gift will
\n turn into a shared future. Perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft and Jenny
\nColgan.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i>\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Molly’s life is turned upside down when she receives an inheritance from a Greek who she has never heard of. After she travels to Corfu, with her mother and best friend, she finds an intriguing mystery at the centre of this news and meets a family who she comes to care deeply about. Corfu itself dominates the story with its sparkling seas and beautiful environment. It is definitely a read for the summer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Molly finds herself drawn towards Christos who has left the island to establish his businesses. She too has ambitions to set up a business and a huge determination not to be knocked off course. Both Christos and Molly share a childhood with absent fathers and both were largely raised by their mothers. Molly’s relationship with her mother is at times strained as she longs to know just who is her father. Secrets from the past cause some huge changes to family dynamics for all of the characters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short:<\/i> family secrets\u00a0
