Paul, Only 10 pages It does seem a waste to buy a copy for just that. I hope you find the ending out one way or another soon.

Thanks for getting back to me Jackie….I did check my local library just out of interest and to see if they had it, they did and had 14 people on the waiting list! I may go and see if Amazon has a used copy for sale, sellers usually have a few at greatly reduced publishers prices….seems stupid for 10 pages!

Paul, I’m afraid that I can’t remember how it ends and I no longer have a copy to look it up for you I’m not sure what that says about the book! I vividly remember some sections from the book, but the ending escapes me. I’m really sorry to hear that you lost your copy – perhaps you can borrow one from the library?

I am so annoyed with myself!! I was enjoying reading this book, Christos skilfully draws you into each set of characters…I got just past the ‘Manolis’ chapter and then went and left it in my basket at the self-service section of Tesco’s…I went running back and of course customer service had not had it handed in and I am loathed to pay another £16.99. Can anyone enlighten me on the conclusion of the book without spoiling it for others on here?
