Synopsis "A Good Day for Jumping: when separate worlds collide"
"Just when you think you understand what's going on, there's a twist. I especially enjoyed the contrast of urban/suburban London with sun-drenched Greece. Both locales were drawn in fine detail--down to the flavors of the meals and the smells in the alleyways." Top Amazon reviewer "This writer is a natural; her prose is effortless and evocative, her dialogue very natural." Amazon reviewer "This clever story twists and turns, moving from Greece to London and back again, and is full of surprises.The wonderfully well drawn character of Joyce Shackleton will make you gasp." Amazon reviewer The handsome son of an advertising tycoon, and about to marry May, the love of his life, Stephen Firth deserts his bride and flies to Crete, leaving chaos and confusion behind him. Walking the streets of Rethymnon, memories of his childhood come alive, but he shakes them off, impatient to leave the past behind. In a grubby backstreet café he meets Kookis, who tricks him into teaching his niece English. Roula is loyal, honest and devoted to her family and, although Steve is cynical, he is also fascinated by this candid young woman's determination to succeed against the odds. But Stephen Firth is a free spirit, living for the here and now. He takes what he wants and moves on. Only Sarah, the woman who was supposed to flee with him, seems like unfinished business. What he doesn't know is that back in London, Joyce Shackleton, his father's formidable personal assistant, has been pulling the strings all along. And Joyce holds a dark secret that could turn everyone's world upside down.
