It seems to me from reading other reveiws that this book falls into the love or loathe category. Me, I loved it.
From the very first chapter when Dr Iannis cures Stamatis deafness by removing a pea from his ear I was hooked.
I've spent quite a lot of time on the Ionian islands and have friends in Corfu, so it was very easy for me to place myself on Cephalonia, perhaps that helped.
But anyway I am so glad I read this book. It is very life affirming.

Always sad when I can't get into a book. I will search for a new home for it.

I really enjoyed this book, it was sometimes funny and sometimes sad. At first it went a bit slow and I wondered when this Captain Corelli would appear, and after about 100 pages did his name turn up.. but once I got into it, I could hardly stop reading. I like the writing style of the auteur, though I had to get used to it in the beginning.

The book will soon be on its way to the UK.
