Polly Samson, the Sunday Times bestselling author of A THEATRE FOR DREAMERS, introduces this enchanting tale. Described by India Knight of the Sunday Times as "the written equivalent of lying in the sun eating figs", Three Summers is a captivating narrative of sisterhood and self-discovery.

Set in the idyllic Greek countryside near Athens before World War II, the story follows three sisters: the flirtatious and impulsive Maria, the beautiful yet aloof Infanta, and the dreamy, rebellious Katerina. Through Katerina's observant eyes, we witness their journey from girlhood to womanhood over the course of three transformative summers.

In their ramshackle abode, shared with their divorced mother, the sisters navigate the complexities of love, secrets, and the enigmatic world of adults. As they don their distinctive straw hats - adorned with cherries, forget-me-nots, and fiery poppies - they embark on a poignant odyssey of self-discovery, grappling with their aspirations and the adults they wish to become.

Margarita Liberaki's prose, praised by Albert Camus for its radiant warmth, offers a sun-drenched escape into a bygone era. Culture Whisper aptly describes it as "the literary equivalent of a sun-soaked holiday in Greece". This "leisurely, large-hearted coming-of-age novel", as Kirkus puts it, weaves an "earthy and innocent, nostalgic and beautifully rendered" tapestry of Greek village life.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
