The truth will surprise you...
On the island of Cyprus, in the small seaside town of Larnaka, three childhood friends have reunited for the funeral of Katerina, the much-loved old woman who had a profound effect on their lives.
Eleni, Marianna and Adonis grew up together, as close as siblings. Although from humble beginnings – a housemaid from the age of thirteen – Katerina’s love, wisdom and guidance helped shape them all.
Her loss leaves the friends bereft, but the funeral is not just a time to mourn and remember. Adonis’s mother decides that with Katerina’s death comes the time to share the family’s secrets and answer the riddles of their childhood. A story of deception, forbidden love and undying loyalty unravels. What she reveals will change everything . . .

On the day of Katerina's funeral in Larnaka, Cyprus, three childhood friends reunite for the first time in years to say farewell to the beloved old woman who profoundly influenced their lives. Eleni, Marianna and Orestis grew up together, as close as siblings, in their small, quaint seaside town. Originally hired as a household maid at just 13, Katerina became a pillar of their community, seeing the town change from a bustling, fashionable port to the quiet tourist destination it is today. The friends can hardly imagine a Larnaka without her. But the funeral is not just a time to reminisce. Oresti's mother, Sonia, decides that with Katerina's death comes the time to unburden herself from all the family secrets. What she reveals will change everything, and how the three friends perceive their lives. A web of secrets, deception, forbidden love, and tenderness unravels before them in Secrets Under the Sun by Nadia Marks. Secondhand, Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781509815708-SECONDHAND
