About the Book

A married woman, a Greek island, a handsome stranger...

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE HOLIDAY'S OVER?

It's 1988, Margaret Thatcher's in charge, George Michael is topping the charts and bored, restless Melanie has fallen for handsome waiter Marios on an idyllic sun-soaked Greek island holiday. He's charismatic, clearly smitten and begs her to tear up her ticket and stay on his island with him.

There is just one little problem...

She's on holiday with her husband and this is supposed to be their second honeymoon

Caught between a summer romance and a marriage full of regrets, Melanie now has a decision to make. Can she give up everything for someone she's only just met? The lure of life on a paradise island is strong and leaving all your problems behind is tempting...but what if the biggest problem is you? Sometimes the biggest lies are the ones you tell yourself. Sometimes the sun's just too bright to see the shadows...

**********

For fans of The Girls of Summer, My Greek Island Summer, and Shirley Valentine, POISON SUMMER is an evocative journey through summer love beset with insecurities, cultural differences and misunderstandings. Set against an idyllic Greek Island backdrop in the heady days of the late 1980s, POISON SUMMER explores the consequences of our actions, and what can happen when you don't trust your own judgement.

'Shocking.'

'Felt like I'd been transported directly to Greece. Could feel the sun on my skin and taste the delicious food.'

'Perfect for a book club.'
