Cartes Postales from Greece | Victoria Hislop
14 posts | 10 read | 11 to read
Cartes Postales from Greece is an extraordinary new book from Victoria Hislop, the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of The Island, The Return, The Thread, and The Sunrise. It is fiction in full colour - magical and unique. 'Victoria Hislop writes so vividly about the Med, you can almost feel the scorching heat' Good Housekeeping Week after week, the postcards arrive, addressed to a name Ellie does not know, with no return address, each signed with an initial: A. With their bright skies, blue seas and alluring images of Greece, these cartes postales brighten her life. After six months, to her disappointment, they cease. But the montage she has created on the wall of her flat has cast a spell. She must see this country for herself. On the morning Ellie leaves for Athens, a notebook arrives. Its pages tell the story of a man's odyssey through Greece. Moving, surprising and sometimes dark, A's tale unfolds with the discovery not only of a culture but also of a desire to live life to the full once more. Beloved, bestselling author Victoria Hislop's Cartes Postales from Greece is fiction illustrated with photographs that make this journey around Greece, already alive in the imagination, linger forever in the mind.

A bit of escapism when it‘s not possible to travel

I stumbled upon this book in the library app. I was desperate for an audiobook, and this was the only book available. Perhaps not the best starting point for a good reading experience, but I was pleasantly surprised. In the end I loved the book!

We had a long car journey today so borrowed this from my sister.
I've not read any other by her.

#TravelTuesday #ReadingResolutions
I am looking forward to this #Greece read as soon as I complete current reads. Flipping through the pages, I noticed pictures of postcards along with the narration. That got me even more excited for this book! #TBR

I love books with correspondence in them. It's not epistolary, but I bet it'll be good. #bookhaul

Lucky me. I got Wolf Hall in an Oxfam shop. The others were gifts ❣❣❣

Andrew65 I love everything Lucinda Riley writes! 7y
MayJasper Thanks @Andrew65 good to know. She is a new author to me. 7y
Andrew65 @MayJasper Not read this one, but do plan to. Waiting anxiously in the next couple of months for the fourth book in her Seven Sisters series which I strongly recommend, and her standalone Girl on the Cliff is strongly recommended. 7y
SilversReviews I LOVE Lucinda Riley's books. Jenny Colgan is a favorite too. :) (edited) 7y

Great holiday read especially when in Greece. I would highly recommend the audiobook which made this book more entertaining. Ideally the photos in the book could have been in colour (I read the paperback version - I believe the hard book is in colour).

❤️audiobooks - especially read by Dan Stevens

LauraBrook Ooh, read by Dan Stevens? #stacked 7y
Lizabella28 @LauraBrook Majority of it. Lovely book so far. Going to be a quick read as it's got lots of pictures. I'm currently being drawn to certain books via their celebrity readers 📚 7y
LauraBrook @Lizabella28 I go through celeb phases like that too. I'm always surprised by some of the actors that have done audiobooks! 7y
