So what's The Butterfly Storm all about?
Four years ago life for Sophie Keech was perfect. A new start in Greece with Alekos, her boyfriend of just six weeks, removes Sophie from a mundane 9-5 job, takes her away from the difficult relationship she has with her mum, and gives her the opportunity and belief that she is finally doing something positive and exciting with her life.The book has been really well received with 20 reviews on amazon.co.uk so far all giving The Butterfly Storm 4 and 5 stars. This is what people are saying about it:
But a lot can change in four years. An engagement, a domineering mother-in-law to be and the reality of life in Greece not being quite what Sophie imagined puts a strain on her relationship with Alekos.
When an accident forces Sophie back to the UK to look after her estranged mum, she has time to re-evaluate her life, her idea of family, where she wants to be and, most importantly, who she loves.
'It is a lovely story of a relationship between a mother and daughter with some wonderful characters - especially Despina the overbearing, bossy, greek mama who always wants and expects to get her own way. What I did like was the edge of unpredictableness about the story - for a large part of the book you just don't know in what direction Sophie's life is going to go, or with who! The story moves at a fluid pace, and has an ending that definitely brought a tear to my eye.' 5* review
'Kate writes with passion and realism, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the setting, and the detailed and beautiful descriptions. The plot is absorbing, with a cast of fascinating characters and a healthy dose of "How is this all going to end...?". I didn't spot the end coming, and was absorbed by the emotional pull of Sophie's life and journey.' 4* review
'When so many people give rave reviews about a book I always have this slight fear that I'll be the one person who doesn't feel the same. But, on this occasion, all the previous positive comments were spot on and, now I've finished reading it, I'm left with a real sense of loss.' 5* review
