A sudden departure. A story decades in the making. The chaotic but happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray when Cecily--whose children can't remember her ever being remotely spontaneous--disappears to a Greek island with no warning or explanation. Her reasons for doing something so out of character are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily. What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia? But Cecily has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago--one that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns, she'll have to tell them the truth. Will Cecily be able to hold her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she discover that she's not the only one with a story to tell?

This definitely isn't my usual read but is something I could see myself reading in 10/15 years times. At first, my initial feelings were negative. I felt a little bored and the wrong market for this book but I stuck with it and saw its charm. This isn't a book for me but perhaps for the underrepresented older demographic of women, we rarely see in portrayed a fair amount in novels and other mediums. 

The last piece is a light adventure novel with the added element of mystery. Despite dealing with some realistic and serious scenarios, in comparison to many other books I've read, it's pretty light-hearted. Easy to read, easy to follow, no major shock factors but things dropped in there to keep the story going. It's a good book, won't be for everyone though.
