The English Lesson (The Greek Village Collection book 11)
“It is a bit like excitement but there is tension in the sinews of her neck, along with a feeling of power. It is not power over anyone, like the power she had over her children until they were of an age to govern themselves, but a power as if she can determine her own future.
'Are you alright?' She can hear Juliet speak but her voice seems a long way away as she looks back towards her house.
