Produktinformationen zu „When the Cypress Whispers (ePub)“
From an Emmy award-winning writer and producer, "arich, emotionally-nuanced story about a woman's deeply held connection to her family and her past"(Emily Giffin,New York Times-bestselling author).
The daughter of Greek immigrants, Daphne aspires to the American Dream, yet feels as if she's been sleepwalking through life. Caught between her family's old-world traditions and the demands of a modern career, she cannot seem to find her place.
Only her beloved grandmother on Erikousa, a magical island off the coast of Greece, knows her heart. Daphne's fondest memories are of times spent in the kitchen with Yia-yia, cooking and learning about the ancient myths. It was the thought of Yia-yia that consoled Daphne in the wake of her husband's unexpected death.
After years of struggling to raise her child and pay the bills, Daphne now has a successful restaurant, a growing reputation as a chef, and a wealthy fiancé-everything she's ever wanted. But across the ocean, Yia-yia can see through the storybook perfection of Daphne's new life- and now she is calling her back to Erikousa. She has secrets about the past to share with her granddaughter- stories from the war, of loyalty and bravery in the face of death. She also has one last lesson to teach her: that security is not love, and that her life can be filled with meaning again.
"Readers will be transported." -Booklist
"[Corporon] can tell a good tale, and her love for her Greek heritage permeates the story." -Publishers Weekly
"A perfect beach read and a compelling portrait of a family of strong women." -Shelf Awareness
