Counter Tenor's Daughter

Elizabeth Falconer writes charming books about women who stuck in a rut break free. She transports her readers to places of sensual delight - in this case the islands of Greece (others include Provence, Paris). The central character, broken hearted, voyages to a Greek island on impulse and finds uncomplicated love(of course). On the way (as in all her books) one can vicariously indulge in good food, wine, sunshine, art, beauty, and other sensual pleasures. Her characters have a certain "Mary Wesley"ness about them, and are concerned mainly with familial human relationships. Highly recommended escapist reading
