Why read it?

1 author picked The Island Villa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because it doesn’t shy away from the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters. I can understand the hurt that caused one daughter not to speak to her mother for years, and yet still see how the other daughter has a completely different view of their mother.

We don’t see the same event with the same eyes—and sometimes, what hurts is caused by a deep desire to protect the other. Of course, I love a happy ending and Sarah Morgan didn’t disappoint. Plus all the vivid descriptions of Corfu made me want to go visit Greece.
