Pero ese año también llega a la isla un joven alemán llamado Otto. Y así comienza un verano de el mar, el sol, el tomillo fresco, la alegría y la música deberían durar para siempre.

Pero tres años después estalla la guerra, y en 1941 la isla cae bajo la invasión nazi. Eleni y Otto han vuelto a la isla. Pero esta vez Eleni ha venido a luchar por su hogar, y Otto es parte del ejército de ocupación.

Thanks so much for your interest in my books! My first novel came out in 2014, and since then I've written nine more, with another in the works. I write mostly as Jenny Ashcroft, although I've also published Every Lifetime After as Jennifer Ross, and have a contemporary novel coming out in summer 2027 as Rosie Morton. For me, there's no better escape than curling up with a story that whisks you off to another place, in another time, and I love that I get to spend my days writing them. I studied history at Oxford and have always had such a passion for the past - it really does offer the most incredible inspiration for transportive, page-turning tales.

My novels have been set in locations across the world, all of which I've been lucky enough to either travel to, or live in. Island in the East is a dual timeframe novel set in Singapore, which my family very happily called home for many years; Meet Me in Bombay is set between England and India during the First World War; Beneath a Burning Sky is a historical mystery set in Egypt; Under the Golden Sun is the story of a soul-searching nanny who, during World War Two, escorts her charge back to his family in Australia; The Echoes of Love is set largely on the beautiful island of Crete during the Second World War, and was inspired by my Greek grandmother who survived the Nazi occupation and met my grandfather at the liberation of Greece; Secrets of the Watch House is another mystery, this time set on a remote Cornish island during the 1930s; Every Lifetime After, my novel as Jennifer Ross, is set in England, and sees the boundaries of time blurring between a modern-day movie set and a WW2 bomber base; The Bureau of Second Chances, which is coming in January 2027 - under Jenny Ashcroft again - is all about a top secret organisation that grants the world's sliding doors and groundhog days, and the unexpected love story that develops between a bureau agent, and the man she's been sent to help; finally, The Lost Gardens of Solstice House, coming in June 2027, follows three generations of women as they move into their inherited house in Cornwall, and discover all manner of secrets.

It's been a joy to write every one of these novels, the characters have become like family to me, and it's always so amazing to think of you, the reader, spending your time with them. I love nothing more than hearing from you, so please do get in touch. You can find me on Instagram: @jennyashcroftauthor.

🍿 Reseña 🍿
Este libro nos cuenta la historia de Eleni y Otto, se enamoran en el verano de 1936 en una isla de Creta. Años más tarde, la invasión de la guerra llega a la isla y los problemas comienzan.
Eleni vuelve a la isla para luchar por su casa, por su tierra natal y Otto vuelve para ocupar la isla. Son de bandos contrarios pero el amor es más fuerte.
Al principio, me costó mucho engancharme y seguir el hilo de la historia porque sentí que todo pasó muy rápido pero cuando hace el salto en el tiempo, cuando nos transporta al presente de 1941, todo tiene sentido.
Son dos personas que se enamoraron en las peores circunstancias pero que merecían vivir su amor. Es un libro muy crudo y muy intenso, demuestra, una vez más, que el amor muchas veces es la salida ante lo cruel del mundo.
Realmente este libro es para las fans del romance histórico porque tiene la dosis justa y necesaria de todo.
