‘A triumph […] vivid and wise and uplifting’ MARIAN KEYES
Rose Talisman is pinning it all on a fresh start.
Five years after her career as a tv therapist ended in one catastrophic instant, she is opening a retreat in Corfu. The understated, luxurious Villa Artemis is surrounded by wild pines and sea views.
Just six guests. One week. Time for Rose to help them face their secrets – and move forwards.
But Rose has staked everything on the retreat. It has to work – or she loses it all. And people’s secrets have a way of revealing themselves in ways no one expected.
Nobody’s past is staying hidden for long… Will that include Rose’s, too?
Find out more…‘I love writing novels with a bigger canvas where I can explore lots of different people’s life stories. The plotline of The Island Retreat gave me this wonderful opportunity. I got to look at how ‘being fixed’ is such a modern desire. How we want inner peace without Xanax and the character of Rose Talisman allowed me to do this.
Rose understands the journey into the inner self all too well and The Island Retreat looks at a cast of characters who have to face their fears on the blissful island of Corfu. The setting’s glorious but everyone has to go into the long dark teatime of their soul to find what’s stopping them having inner peace.’
