What to expect
A gorgeous and evocative novel about three sisters and a life-changing summer in Corfu.
What if your life worked out perfectly . . . for someone else?
It's been 18 years since Ava spent the summer on the Greek island of Corfu, but she has never forgotten what happened during those months - or who she left behind.
Now single, estranged from her family, and preparing to wave her daughter off to university, Ava's life seems a million miles away from the one she dreamed about as a teenager - a life now being lived by her sister instead.
When Ava decides to return to Corfu for the summer, she knows she must finally face the place and the people that broke her heart. But with old resentments festering, long-buried secrets lurking, and familiar feelings resurfacing, it looks set to be a holiday that will change all their lives forever. . .

A tender, utterly romantic and evocative tale that will leave you feeling as if you’ve spent a summer in Corfu
What Isabelle Broom writes, I read: nobody does escapist and thought-provoking fiction like her, and god! Her sense of place! I get to travel the world without leaving my front room. So magical, so special.
It took all of two seconds for me to be whisked away into this sun-soaked story about love, motherhood and family secrets. Beautifully written and fiercely poignant, The Summer Trip is an immersive, evocative novel that deserves to be right at the top of your holiday reading list
An enchanting read charting one woman’s journey of self-discovery, making peace with the past and finding romance. Another gloriously evocative summer read
