The isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!

Silver Screenings, it’s YOU who are fabulous because you are so receptive, imaginative and generous – the kind of audience that actors and writers want to bow to.Thank you. I will forward your comment about how much you are enjoying the book (so far!) to the author.

I couldn’t wait for our road trip to start listening to this, and have delved into the book early. I’m on Chapter 3 and it is SO GOOD. Your inflection sometimes has me in stitches. This is FA-BU-LOUS.

What a wonderfully encouraging comment from Silver Screenings – thank you so much! If you do listen to the whole thing on your trip, I hope you enjoy it and that you definitely do NOT experience any of the heroine’s misadventures.

I just listened to the sample and it sounds terrific! How on earth are you able to read amusing passages without bursting into laughter? But, I guess that’s what makes you a professional.
I am unable to review, but am ordering a copy for our road trip in a few weeks. This sounds too good to pass up. Thanks for the link!

You are too kind, Sarah – would the familiar sound of my voice for hours on end REALLY keep you company on a long journey across Europe? – as soon as the promo codes become available, I’ll send you one for your free copy.

Nellie’s coat looks like it’s going to be a bit too much for sunny climes.
Good luck with this, I am certain it will sound wonderful!
