In a Greek taverna, high over the small village of Aghia Anna, four people meet for the first time: Fiona, an Irish nurse, Thomas, a Californian academic; Elsa, a German television presenter; and David a shy English boy. Along with Andreas, the old man who runs the taverna, they become close to each other after witnessing a tragedy when a pleasure steamer catches fire in the harbour.

This was the 2nd book i read by Maeve Binchy...(looking forward to reading all the earlier ones). Very interesting and enjoyable,especially because of the differing backgrounds and cultures of the main characters.

Maeve-Lovers' Disappointment
I am a true admirer and avid reader of Maeve Binchy, but this book just doesn't match the level of quality as her other books. I have read all her books and have truly loved each and every one until this one. It was ok, but not as page-turning as the others were. I would still read it if you love Binchy books, but just don't have your standards as high for this one.
