Three Summers by Polly Samson, the Sunday Times bestselling author of A THEATRE FOR DREAMERS, invites readers into a mesmerizing tale that captures the essence of sisterhood and self-discovery. Described by India Knight as "the written equivalent of lying in the sun eating figs," this novel is a heartfelt journey through the idyllic Greek countryside before the shadows of World War II loom.
Set against a backdrop of sun-kissed landscapes, Three Summers follows the lives of three unique sisters: the impulsive Maria, the aloof Infanta, and the rebellious Katerina. Through Katerina's insightful observations, readers witness their transition from girlhood to womanhood, encapsulated in three transformative summers filled with love, secrets, and adult enigmas.
Renowned for its radiant warmth, Margarita Liberaki's prose has earned praise from literary giants like Albert Camus. Culture Whisper beautifully captures its essence, calling it "the literary equivalent of a sun-soaked holiday in Greece." With its leisurely pace and large-hearted storytelling, Three Summers is a nostalgic exploration of Greek village life, weaving an "earthy and innocent" tapestry that resonates with readers.
Join the sisters on their poignant odyssey and immerse yourself in this enchanting tale that celebrates the beauty of life, love, and the journey of becoming.

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.’
