Villa of Secrets is far more than just a good read. It's a journey, an adventure and an epic love story.
In Paradissi, a village in Rhodes, Naomi looks after her grandmother who is recovering after a recent stroke. She is given some old diaries to read and so discovers the truth about the horrors endured by the Jews living on the island during the war.
Meanwhile, in London, Naomi's estranged sister, Rebecca, receives several strange packages from Rhodes. Her future in turmoil, she returns to the island ten years after the terrible fight that had caused her to leave. Reunited, the sisters begin to uncover their grandmother's incredible past.
This book encompasses it all. Tales of unbelievable atrocities, courage and the struggle to survive and of friendship and devotion, love, loss, and tragedy. It's a history lesson - a real eye-opener but it's also a truly exceptional love story. Literally breath-taking in parts, it's a book you'll get lost in and certainly one you won't forget.
