A Little Bit of Sunshine

by Nick Alexander

*** Limited duration launch price ***

A thrilling new family drama from the author of The Photographer's Wife and Perfectly Ordinary People: multi-million bestselling author Nick Alexander

Dee’s life in rainy Salford is a world away from her sister Trina’s champagne-and-caviar shenanigans.

So when Trina offers escape—ten days on a sun-drenched Greek island owned by a handsome, enigmatic businessman—Dee leaves comfort, routine, and the endless drizzle behind. A little bit of sunshine seems like the perfect antidote to her summertime blues.

But paradise proves hot and restless. The other guests are increasingly on-edge and a creeping sense of doom shadows Dee’s every step.

As the Aegean sun beats down, hidden truths begin to blister in the heat. Soon, Dee must question the reality behind her sister’s glittering lifestyle, the true intentions of their seductive host, and whether the grass on this sunny side of the fence is really so green after all.

“A beautiful and poignant tale that will steal your heart!” – Reader review.

“Packed with simmering frustrations, fantastically crafted characters show us there's more to life, and other people, than we may think. Wonderfully immersive, I could almost feel the heat. Nick Alexander has done it again!.” – Reader review.

Reviews

[Ellie · Rating 4 out of 5]

really makes you think about life, it's temptations and the ways we can get stuck: both by doing the same thing every day and dreaming of all the different things we could be doing but aren't!

[Amy Kearney · Rating 5 out of 5]

hard to put down!

This book was really interesting and kept me invested in the characters. Not predictable, the plot surprises you at times. Some very interesting conversations between the characters at times about our paths in life and about grief. I love this author and will read anything new he writes. It’s always an interesting story that makes you think as well as entertains.

This book certainly gets you thinking about life and the people surrounding us. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. It's a beautiful story of relationships but also of discovery, hope and realisation. I absolutely loved it.
