Under the Jasmine Tree

Sophie Sagas #2

by Sharron Taylor

Sophie navigates her way through the isolation and lull of winter on the magical Greek island of Ithaca. Experiencing her first sober Christmas in years, the humble village traditions and unexpected weather, she finally settles into her new life. Spending her time rejuvenating their neglected hillside home, surrounded by the heady scent of rosemary, thyme and jasmine, Sophie gets ready for the impending return of the love of her life, Nikolas, from the mainland. An unexpected surprise leads them on a sailing adventure around Kefalonia and the uninhabited mystical islands of the Strofades. As they set sail for home, a freak summer storm sees them return with more than they had bargained for. Other books in the Sophie Saga Where Rosemary Grows A Step in Thyme

This is a continuation of the story in Where Rosemary Grows which I read last year. I wish I had picked this up sooner because I had a hard time jumping back into the story. But once I did, I enjoyed learning more about the island culture and all the Greek Orthodox traditions. It does end rather abruptly - probably with the expectation that you will pick up the third book for the conclusion.

I had hoped that Sharon’s second book would show some improvement in her grammar, use of the right words, and punctuation, but I have to say, unbelievably, it was even worse.
