Aphrodite's Child - Softcover

This is the first book in the revised edition of The Aphrodite Trilogy

Cyprus 1991

Emily Blackwell is an RAF officer’s wife and has never fitted in with military life, but when her husband, Luke is posted to Cyprus, she sees it as an escape from a job she hates and maybe somewhere she can have her longed-for third child.

The reality of living on a military camp hits her hard - it’s a time before FaceTime, emails and WhatsApp and she’s lonely and cut off from her previous life.  

When she makes friends with Sophie, her life takes a turn for the better: she begins to throw herself into the social scene. The new blond-haired, tanned, slimmer version of herself embraces everything that Cyprus has to offer.

But Luke’s love of all things Air Force, his desire to restrict their family to two children and his off-hand ways culminate in her finding love in someone very different.

After a terrible tragedy that befalls them all, her life on the island begins to unravel.  Trust is broken, friendships shatter and Emily is torn between her family and forbidden love.

She has fallen in love with Cyprus, the lifestyle and ... another man but she’s lost herself.  Can she find herself again before it’s too late?
