Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'An evocative mix of history, food and storytelling.' EVENING STANDARD BEST FICTION 2021 'a heart-warming, heart-breaking story of love, life, family and, of course, baking.' RUTH HOGAN Cyprus in the run up to the civil war of the 1970s. the threat of it hangs in the atmosphere like a fine mist. A terrible thing, war. Against this backdrop of war and violence, the island's inhabitants make the best they can of their lives, building friendships, falling in love, having children, watching people die, making mistakes. Maria Petrakis, however, flees a brutal marriage on the island where she has always lived for London and a new start. She opens a bakery on Green Lanes in Harringay - the centre of the small Greek Cypriot community whose residents have settled there to escape the war and start again. Here she comes into her own as she heals and atones through the kneading of bread and the selling of shamali cakes and cinnamon pastries to her customers. There are glimpses of the lives of her neighbours, friends and customers as they buy their bread and cakes. There's Mrs Koutsouli, whose heart was broken when her handsome son married a xeni, an English woman with fish-eyes and yellow hair. There's Mrs Pantelis, driven half-mad with the grief of losing her son, Nico, in the war. And there's Mrs Vasili who claims to be related to Nana Mouskouri and grows her hair upwards so she can feel closer to God. Finally, there's Elena, Maria Petrakis' daughter-in-law, who has been suffering with the blackness since having a baby, and whom nobody knows quite how to help. The Making Of Mrs Petrakis is a story about the limited choices women sometimes find themselves confronting. It's a story about repression and mental illness and the devastation it can wreak on lives. But above all, it is a story of motherhood and love and of healing through the humble act of baking. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. 'Wise, compelling and beautiful . . . by the end you feel as if you know the characters as intimately as your closest friends' CHARLIE CARROLL, author of The Lip Cyprus, 1954. One sultry summer night, a young woman abruptly ends a love affair. It's an impulsive act of revenge but it's one that will reverberate through the lives of everyone involved. Finsbury Park, London, 1988. Evgenia has just been given the news that nobody wants to hear. She's dying, but there's still time to put things right before she passes away. Her best friend, Emiliana, is burdened with a secret that she's kept for far too long. It's time to confess to her son but he is searching for closure of his own. Around the corner, Melina is lost. Her father has just died of a broken heart and it's all because of her. Beneath the lies, grief and family secrets, however, waits a truth that can mend the broken parts of all their lives. The truth of what really happened that fateful night beneath the lemon trees.
