Synopsis

Lexie lives in London with her colourful Greek-Cypriot family - and she's devoted to her fragile cousin of the same age, Eleni, who has a heart condition. But after the death of their grandmother, Lexie tells a terrible, instinctive, jealous lie about an heirloom necklace, a lie that splits the family apart. It's up to her to bring the family back together ... but after such a lie, can she find a way to tell the truth?

Reviews

This loving story twists and turns throughout the book, every page a whirl of reality. A kind, caring Greek family, who eagerly carry out tradition over many years, face a series of challenging moments when an unexpected death occurs to a loved one. I really enjoyed this story line, which included laugh out loud diary entries, flabbergasting moments, but most important of all...friendship.
