It's on a close, airless night at the end of the summer season that the earthquake strikes, devastating the Turkish coast and generating a tsunami wave that crashes over the tiny Greek island of Halemni. It's a defining moment for t he two women at the heart of Rosie Thomas's The Potter's House. For Olivia, who has settled on the island with her Greek husband and two sons, it's a catalyst, forcing her to reassess her life away from England and take stock of what matters to her; for Kitty, it's a chance to turn her back on an unsuccessful marriage and start again, with a new identity, a rewritten past and a hopeful future.

Offered on bookrelay.

RELEASE NOTES:

Sending to SpikesMom who accepted it on Feb. 15

Oh, man. How'd this slip through the cracks?? It's been here and it's been read and now I'm about to send it off in Dotty's 43Things Bookbox, to find a new reader.

But before I do, let me say that I can see why you picked up multiple copies of this, Kis. It's a cool story, well-written, the characters are real; the village is SO real. Oh, man. Wow. And what a neat twist at the end.

One of the true hidden gems out there, I wish more people would come across this book. Hopefully, someone will snag it from the box.

Again, apologies for the late journal entry. I hate it when things slip through the cracks like this!

Came home in Dotty's Bookbox.
