A well produced and enjoyable book from an accomplished writer, a film actor and his wife, both of whom have enjoyed considerable success in Hollywood. It is an account of their move to an idyllic Greek island in retirement. The location, Skiathos, is portrayed vividly and with much affection, and the narrative came to life for our readers. It was felt by one of the judges that, although some of the characters had fascinating stories, they were not explored at sufficient length. The writer’s background enables him to drop in regular references to his previous Hollywood life – well-known people and films– and this is an added attraction.
