Goodreads: Synopsis
A deeply moving story about family secrets and unbreakable bonds from Nadia Marks
For fans of Victoria Hislop comes Among the Lemon Trees, the debut novel from Nadia Marks.
Anna thought her marriage to Max would last forever. Having raised two happy children together, she looked forward to growing old with the man she loved. But when a revelation from her husband just before their wedding anniversary shakes her entire world, she's left uncertain of what the future holds.
Needing time to herself, Anna takes up an offer from her widowed father to spend the summer on the small Aegean island of his birth, unaware that a chance discovery of letters in her aunt's house will unleash a host of family secrets. Kept hidden for sixty years, they reveal a tumultuous family history, beginning in Greece at the beginning of the twentieth century and ending in Naples at the close of the Second World War.
Confronted by their family's long-buried truths, both father and daughter are shaken by the discovery and Anna begins to realize that if she is to ever heal the present, she must first understand the past . . .

My Review:
I am reading the sort of books that I would normally be considering as holiday reading at the moment. Why on earth is that I wonder?
I love reading and am certainly spending more time doing so than normal during this lockdown. The choice of titles I think has been from the lighter side novels on my TBR shelves because feeling the need for escapism, after all to me that is one of the things that the world of reading is all about.
Among The Lemon Trees will transport you to a Greek Island with a heart warming story which reminds the reader ,(quote taken from novel), 'that nothing is absolute and in the end nothing else matters apart from love'
Easy to read and flows well as the protagonist Anna examines the meaning of love in her life and other family members. Recommended to those of you that enjoy stories of love, survival and a desire for happiness, this will transport one away from this strange world we are currently living in for a few hours.
