The Greek House - Dinah Jefferies

From bestselling author Dinah Jefferies comes The Greek House, a spellbinding story of passion, memory, and long-hidden truths.

When Thirza Caruthers returns to the sun-soaked island of Corfu, she is overwhelmed by nostalgia — the scent of jasmine, the shimmering blue of the sea, and the haunting absence of her brother Billy, who mysteriously vanished years ago.

At her family’s hilltop home overlooking the Ionian waters, Thirza throws herself into painting and into a passionate affair that rekindles her spirit. But as emotions rise and tensions within the family deepen, long-buried secrets begin to surface — secrets that could finally reveal what really happened to Billy.

With her trademark emotional depth and evocative writing, Jefferies transports readers to a world of Mediterranean beauty and heartbreak, where the past can never truly be forgotten.
