Tears From The Sun - A Cretan Journey

In Tears from the Sun we follow the life of Kate, a writer living in the traditional Cretan village of Vrahassi. She is visited by the spirit of Rhamu, a Minoan Prince. Rhamu asks Kate to help reunite him with Sisi, his lost Princess.

Kate sees in her dreams how the Palace of Malia was destroyed, by magic, necromancy, and a powerful Emerald Crystal. In following her quest, she uncovers many secrets, not least, one which is closely guarded by monks of the Orthodox Church, at a Monastery on Mount Athos.

‘You can’t run away from your own head..’
How true for Kate, in this debut novel by Jane Sharp. Kate arrives in Crete, widowed and bereaved by the loss of her children. In the story that enfolds, Kate finds a way of rebuilding her life. Against this personal narrative is interplayed the ever-present mysticism that is in Crete’s very rocks and relics. We experience the vision of Rhamu and his lost love, Sissi, and the mystery of the destruction of the Minoan civilisation. All is set against the background of the mountain village of Vrahassi, where cameos of village life are skilfully woven into Kate’s story. Read this and be transported into the rustic and colourful life that is modern rural Crete, while ever mindful of its mystical past..
