Get some sun this month with The Island Getaway by Lucy Diamond

'A slice of escapism ... temptingly conjured up' THE TIMES
'The perfect holiday read, it's impossible to put down' WOMAN'S WEEKLY

The dream holiday just got complicated . . .

On the sun-drenched island of Kefalonia, the new arrivals at The Ionian Escape hotel are hoping for a break from everyday life. But some of them are bringing a lot of baggage . . .

Disgraced TV star Miranda Vallance feels like the worst person in the world. Her sister won't speak to her and her job's on the line. She's desperate to put things right, but how?

Eighty-two-year-old Evelyn Chambers has come to fulfil a promise to the love of her life. If she can steel herself to go through with it, that is . . .

And when celebrity chef Frank Neale checks in, rumours swirl around the hotel. But is it his wife, Leonora, who has more of a reason to escape to Greece?

The Island Getaway is a big-hearted novel from the queen of bestselling fiction, celebrating second chances, true love and the life-affirming joy of unlikely friendships.

'Intricate, colourful, beautifully told . . . Lucy Diamond writes with such charm and warmth' HAZEL PRIOR

'A wonderful, warm tale of intertwined lives in a gorgeous Greek setting' LULU TAYLOR

Love Lucy Diamond books!

I love Lucy Diamond books and was delighted to read this new release. It didn’t disappoint I was immersed in the characters and various storylines that all intermingled together. There is definitely a possibility of a series based on this book I can see the storylines going further.

Great story and characters

I’ve listened to this far too quickly - now it’s over and I don’t want it to be. The narrator was fabulous with her authentic Greek accents, so no cringy moments to be had.
Loved it. Thanks Lucy for yet another world of escape
