    It has been 24 years since a young Helena spent a magical holiday in Cyprus, where she fell in love for the first time. When the now crumbling house, 'Pandora,' is left to her by her godfather, she returns to spend the summer there with her family.

    At the difficult age of 13, her son, Alex, is torn between protecting his mother and learning the truth about his real father. Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora's secrets have been revealed....

    • 3/5
      Too many teasers made the book extra long. Three books worth in one.
    • 5/5
      Love the narration, done by Lucinda herself and her son Harry.
    • 4/5
      Good story, though I don't like the way Helena was pilloried when it was clear she was trying to preserve families after being duped by a selfish unscrupulous person. Blame the victim. I am always reticent to listen to author-read books; this wasn't bad apart from the authors lack of speech fluidity and cringe-worthy Italian accent.
    • 5/5
      Live her writing. Looking for another now! So very good!
