The English Lesson - A Novella. Book eleven in the Greek Village Collection
Toula receives an invitation to her granddaughter's third birthday.
To attend means a trip from her beloved Greece to England, where her daughter's family have settled.
Her husband refuses to go and in his refusal it is implied that she cannot go either.
It has been a lifetime of this; a lifetime of being the woman behind the man, her voice heard less and less.
Now, in the final years of her life, perhaps it is time to take action, time to strike out alone, time to take advantage of whatever life offers her.
The truth is she can do whatever she wants to do, go to any extreme, if she is prepared to accept the consequences.
Praise for The English Lesson
Sara's books transport the reader off to Greece to feel the warm / hot sunshine from page one, even though each book stands alone... its also a brilliant series, that no matter where you start from... you have the desire to pick up all the other stories and immerse into the Greek way of life, and feel you have never known anything else but Greece. Best authoress and stories I have read for a very long time. Cannot wait for the next one.
Sara's done it again! The English Lesson is another great story in The Greek Village collection. I love the characters which keep emerging. New ones intermingled with the old ones from earlier books. Please keep on writing about them all Sara.
Well done Sara, another triumph.
I actually gasped aloud! Sara has this ability to combine good prose with psychological insight. The ease at which she enables the reader to develop an affinity with the characters is testament to her abilities as a writer.
This is another brilliant book in the Greek series. Sara alexi is a very talented writer who has a great understanding of human nature. Every book is a gem to be savoured. I can't wait for the next one.
