ΤΟ ΝΗΣΙ ΤΩΝ ΜΥΣΤΙΚΩΝ

Wilson, Patricia

Συγγραφέας

After running her own business for twenty years, Patricia took early retirement and moved to the Greek island of Crete. When she dug up a rusted machine gun in her garden, and the inhabitants of her remote mountain village came with local stories of tragedy and triumph, she knew she had to tell their account of what really happened in September 1943. In 2017, Patricia's first novel, ISLAND OF SECRETS, quickly became an Amazon number one best seller. Patricia, who enjoys painting and photography when she's not writing, now lives on the island of Rhodes where she discovered another story of injustice while researching and writing her second novel. VILLA OF SECRETS is published by Bonnier Zaffre, and the paperback hits the shelves in all good supermarkets, airports, libraries, and bookshops on the 3rd May 2018. Amazon have already awarded VILLA OF SECRETS a best seller flag. For Patricia, the most moving part of writing VILLA OF SECRETS was listening to a survivor of Auschwitz tell of his removal from Rhodes. 'This young teenager's journey to the concentration camp, and how he managed to survive and return ten months later, nothing but 22 kilos of skin and bone, was absolutely heartbreaking.
