Funny, warm, and poignant with her trademark wit and wisdom – The Greek Holiday is Maeve Haran at her very, very best.

'Make sure of a happier holiday by packing a Maeve Haran novel in your suitcase' - Jilly Cooper

Four old university friends, Dora, Penny, Nell and Moira, reunite to relive that first hippy-dippy trip together to a beautiful, unspoilt, romantic Greek island looking for sun, sand and sea.

But it’s not just about going back to when they were young. Maybe they do have dreams like Shirley Valentine, because, ultimately, they’re all looking for something to help them through some difficult times in their lives – whether it’s with their career, family or relationships.

What they discover in Kyri is an opportunity to reinvent, be themselves, contribute to a community who wants their help, at the same time as having fun, being happy and even finding love. But, crucially, they discover the most valuable lesson of all – understanding the true importance of female friendship.

'Hilarious and heartwarming' - Woman & Home

'An engaging romance mixing heartwarming friendship with gentle humour in a gorgeous setting' - Daily Mail

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

She has since written fourteen contemporary and two historical novels plus one work of non-fiction extolling life’s small pleasures.

She has three grown-up children and divides her time between North London and a cottage in the lovely Cuckmere Valley in East Sussex.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Penny, Dora, Nell and Moira, friends since they were at college together, had always meant to keep in touch, but life got in the way.

So when Penny gets an unexpected legacy, she decides not to tell her overbearing husband but to spend it instead on a reunion on the sun-drenched Greek island they visited at eighteen, to rediscover the happiness of those hippy-dippy days. But many years later, what was a tiny village full of donkeys and cafes is now a major tourist attraction. And the friends have to face the fact that their own personal difficulties – unsatisfactory marriages, ungrateful children or the loneliness of a single life – can’t always be cured by a holiday in the sun.
On the way back to Athens, they stop at a tiny island, not yet on the tourist map. In Kyri, they find an opportunity to re-invent, to contribute to a community needing their help and, at the same time, to recapture lost romance and have some healing fun.

More significant still, will they relearn the most valuable lesson of all: the true importance of their friendship?
Funny, warm and poignant, with her trademark wit and wisdom – this is Maeve Haran at her very best.
