Description
Emma Tennant's A House in Corfu is a captivating tale of a magical bay and the house that was built there. In the early 1960s, Emma's parents stumbled upon this enchanting spot while on a cruise, and they decided to turn it into their dream home. The story of Rovinia, set amidst 42 hectares of land above the bay, is intertwined with the lives of its inhabitants, including Maria, a remarkable cook, and her husband Thodoros. As the years passed, the island underwent significant changes, but the house remained a constant presence, surrounded by the beauty of vine, olive, and sea. This beautifully written book celebrates the joy of belonging to a timeless world, where tradition and community thrive amidst the passing of time.
