"When The Cypress Whispers" Written by Yvette Manessis Corporon
I use Grammarly's plagiarism checker because nobody likes copy-cats and a well written article or book is not as fun with grammar errors.
The weather has been getting better with less rain here in Vancouver, but it is still cold outside to do much activities. If you enjoy reading, it's the best time to snuggle up in your comfy couch (or bed) with a really great novel. Love a good read? A new book called "When The Cypress Whispers" is being released this April 2014 by Harper Collins written by author Yvette Manessis Corporon. The book has already been receiving advanced praise from New York Times bestselling authors like Emily Giffin and it's been sold in nearly a dozen countries and counting!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When the Cypress Whispers is the story of a young woman named Daphne and the deep and magical bond she shares with her Greek grandmother, her Yia-yia.
On a beautiful Greek island, myths, magic, and a colorful cast of characters come together in When the Cypress Whispers, Yvette Manessis Corporon's lushly atmospheric story about past and present, family and fate, love and dreams that poignantly captures the deep bond between an American woman and her Greek grandmother.
The daughter of Greek immigrants, Daphne aspires to the American Dream, yet feels as if she's been sleepwalking through life. Caught between her family's old-world traditions and the demands of a modern career, she cannot seem to find her place.
Only her beloved grandmother on Erikousa, a magical island off the coast of Greece, knows her heart. Daphne's fondest memories are of times spent in the kitchen with Yia-yia, cooking and learning about the ancient myths. It was the thought of Yia-yia that consoled Daphne in the wake of her husband's unexpected death.
After years of struggling to raise her child and pay the bills, Daphne now has a successful restaurant, a growing reputation as a chef, and a wealthy fiance--everything she's ever wanted. But across the ocean, Yia-yia can see through the storybook perfection of Daphne's new life-- and now she is calling her back to Erikousa. She has secrets about the past to share with her granddaughter-- stories from the war, of loyalty and bravery in the face of death. She also has one last lesson to teach her: that security is not love, and that her life can be filled with meaning again.
