Looking for the Durrells – M.H.

Fiances, friends, and other animals…

After a year that has seen broken-off engagement and the death of her beloved father, Penny is desperate to get away.

Fulfilling a childhood dream, she sets off on a month-long pilgrimage to Corfu – an island idyll she knows only through the pages of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals.

On the island, Penny quickly finds herself drawn into the lives of a tight-knit circle of strangers. Exploring and searching for the places the Durrells knew decades before, she makes unexpected discoveries about the hopes, fears, and secrets of the people living there now.

And as strangers start to become friends, lives past and present become intertwine in ways none of them could have predicted.
