Produktinformationen "When the Cypress Whispers"
On a beautiful Greek island, myths, magic, and a colorful cast of mortals come together in a lushly atmospheric debut celebrating the powerful bond between an American woman and her Greek grandmother.The daughter of Greek immigrants, Daphne was brought up to believe in the American dream, but hers is shattered when her husband dies in a car accident. After his death, she channels everything she has into rebuilding her life as an acclaimed chef and restaurateur. She has also found a second chance at love with her wealthy, handsome fiancé.Although American by birth, Daphne spent many blissful childhood summers on the magical Greek island of Erikousa, which her grandmother still calls home. Now, as her wedding day fast approaches, Daphne returns to Erikousa and to Yia-yia's embrace.As they spend time together, her grandmother opens up to share remarkable memories of her life there—including stories of bravery and loyalty in the face of death during World War II. Yia-yia has more than one lesson to teach Daphne: that security is not the same as love, that her life can be filled with meaning again, and that the most important magic to believe in is the magic of herself.
