In a Greek taverna, high over the small village of Aghia Anna, four people meet for the first time: Fiona, an Irish nurse, Thomas, a Californian academic; Elsa, a German television presenter; and David a shy English boy. Along with Andreas, the old man who runs the taverna, they become close to each other after witnessing a tragedy when a pleasure steamer catches fire in the harbour. NIGHTS OF RAIN AND STARS is the story of one summer when Fiona, Thomas, Elsa and David all have to face the particular life crisis which first made them leave their homes and end up in Greece. With the help of Vonni, a middle-aged Irish woman who lives in the village and is now a near-native, they each find a solution - although not necessarily the one they anticipated...

RELEASE NOTES:

Xmas Canberra Meeting

This book landed on my lap during our 'mystery Christmas present' activities. I've never read any of Maeve Binchy's work before so I thought I'd give it a go.

Not quite the romance I expected it to be, but I think I liked it all the more for that. It seemed more about family and friends, and could be a good call to look again at how we view our relationships. A nice, gentle and rather whimsical story, hardly a great literary challenge, and a bit naive in some ways. Then again, so am I :D

I stayed up late to finish this novel and it was the perfect piece of light reading in amongst all the heavier stuff I've been wading through.

Think I may save this for release on Valentine's Day in honour of Woosang and Gunzel412's wedding.
