The Island Love Song:

Escape to the beautiful Greek Island of Hydra with this moving novel, filled with family secrets and romance

Emma Cowell, author of THE HOUSE IN THE OLIVE GROVE, returns with her brand new, emotional and romantic novel set on an idyllic Greek Island.

Hydra, the picturesque Greek island, is a paradise for most, yet for sisters Ella and Georgia, it is a place where their darkest secrets dwell. And now the time has come for them to confront their past as they return to Greece to scatter their mother’s ashes.

Ella is haunted by a love song that was written for her by the man who broke her heart years earlier and she longs to find peace so she can move on with her life.

Georgia pretends everything in her life is perfect, but she is plagued with guilt. If what she’s kept hidden for decades was revealed, their family would never be the same again.

The island is urging the sisters to confront the truth, but can they build a future on the ruins of their past?

Out Now!


The House in the Olive Grove:


Will one week in Greece change their lives for ever?

Chef Maria is running a successful cookery school in her home village of Petalidi, Greece – but she is also running from the secrets of her past.

Food journalist Kayla thought this was going to be just another work trip. But right before she leaves for Greece, she discovers that her whole life is built on a lie.

Jewellery-maker Alessandra has always lived according to her own rules – despite what it has cost her to do so. But she has just had some devastating news.

As these three very different women come together at the house in the olive grove, unlikely friendships blossom and a season of self-discovery begins. Will the sumptuous flavours, sapphire waters and golden sands of Greece give each of them the answers they so desperately seek?


‘A glorious story that celebrates the power of love’ – Bestselling author ADRIANA TRIGIANI


‘I adored The House in the Olive Grove. It is a hymn to friendship and love, and is utterly perfect’ – Bestselling author LIZ FENWICK


Author of number one bestseller, One Last Letter From Greece:


Devastated by her mother’s death, Sophie longs to get away from an empty house full of memories and a life that hasn’t quite turned out as she had imagined.
 
So when a chance discovery among her mother’s belongings hints at a past Sophie knows nothing of, she jumps at the opportunity for escape and a chance to heal. The magical, idyllic Greek town of Methoni awaits…
 
But Sophie – determined to uncover her mother’s secrets – is about to discover so much more. Among the tranquil waters and cosy tavernas, Methoni’s locals offer Sophie the answers she craves, along with unexpected romance and, if she’ll take it, a chance at her own happiness…
 
Will walking in her mother’s footsteps help Sophie discover who she was meant to be all along…?


‘Emma Cowell tells an emotional, gripping tale about family secrets, love and loss’ Adriana Trigiani

Greek food and recipes

By Emma Cowell • 25 May, 2022
As my love affair with Greece continued, I wanted to recreate the tastes and smells of the country that captured my heart when back at home. The best place to do that is the kitchen, since so much of Greek life and culture centres around food. In the recipe section of my site you will find some of the dishes referred to in 'One last Letter from Greece' and I hope you have fun re-creating them to bring a bit of Methoni onto your dining table. Tag me on social and share your pics of the dishes! Italian and French cuisines are much lauded, but Greek is oft forgotten. It's much more than Moussaka. The challenge of course with re-creating any cuisine back at home is the year round growing climate of Greece, that makes the fruit and vegetables so tasty. If you can get local or organic produce and where I live in Cornwall has an abundance of local food suppliers, it will pay off as it will make your simple Greek dishes sing with flavour.
