Something is wrong at the heart of the tiny fishing village of Naviras, a place where Ellie often sought refuge as the rest of her life was collapsing; during the silent and invisible end of her marriage as her husband's political power grew. Ellie fell in love with the village and the people who lived in it. Now she's back to remember and relive her time there, recalling the secrets which sprang up within its narrow streets and at Casa Amanha, the home of a weather forecaster where her love for two men begins and ends. Ellie has returned to Naviras just as a conspiracy to destabilise the Middle East is erupting. The village is the first and last place she ought to be, but Naviras has saved its biggest and deadliest secret for last. Weeks in Naviras is a speculative and political novel published in 2014. Editorial Reviews "It stays with you after you finish reading. A unique and engaging plot that is both thoughtful and evocative. It is an enjoyable read overall and is definitely recommended." The Future Fire Reviews, March 2014 "I don't want to give anything away, but put it this way, it will knock your socks off. The twists are so unexpected, so genius. Excellent, excellent book. Highly recommended. Definitely different, definitely eclectic." Eclectic Bookworm, April 2014 "The background and setting of the story was amazing in itself and I really wish Naviras really existed. This book made me think, instead of just doing the thinking for me and throwing theories out all over the pages." Bookish Love, March 2014
