Great new book by Emma Cowell

• Book: Under the Lemon Tree
• Location: Agistri
• Author: Emma Cowell

Review Author: Eva Glyn

Move over Victoria Hislop, Under The Lemon Tree seals Emma Cowell’s place as mistress of the Greek romantic novel. Even the deepest, darkest and most difficult of emotions felt real and the author’s love for and understanding of Greek culture shine through.
Kat is devastated by the loss of her twin brother, never more so than when she inherits a house on the island of Agistri from an uncle she never knew. The house should have been for them both, but recognising her life needs to change, she heads to Greece intent on renovation – and to escape from the well-intentioned meddling of her family and friends.
This book has all the elements for a best-selling summer romance; a hot film star love interest, a gorgeous setting, secrets which tumble out to ensnare Kat at every turn. The descriptions of the house and the island are immersive, the food mouth-watering, the stray cat suitably independent. All in all, a great holiday read.
