Imagine that through the original old walls rather than this replica of a 19th century gateway in Nafplio, Peloponnese, Samuel Carr strode as he arrived in the first capital of Greece in 1831. The magnificent Venetian fort towering behind was built to repell the Ottomans but fell just three years after its completion in 1714, only to be retaken again by the Greeks 1822 as Greece began its fight for Independence. Much of Greek Letters Volume Two "And After" is set in Nafplio.

The historical series which comprise THE GREEK LETTERS QUARTET have developed from the author's knowledge of Greek history, passion for its culture and extensive exploration of the mainland, the Peloponnese and the more remote and unusual islands. The love that Suzi Stembridge feels for her subjects has also required a great deal of research and she hopes that her well reviewed books will encourage her readers to visit and explore Greece.
Great value from fiction which is scenically so realistic and the historical details so accurate that the books can replace a guide book!

These unique stories are all very different, and so can be read independently of each other but each trace the family history; from the 19th century Philhellene, Samuel Carr's impluse visit to support the Greeks in their fight for independence from the Ottomans in 1827 through to modern times. By chance Samuel arrives at Navarino just as the famous decisive battle, the last with sailing boats takes place, pursued into the remote Peloponnese by a headstrong young Englishwoman.... and so is born a dynasty, characters who travel throughout Greece and Europe, and take the saga into the 21st century. They can ordered from any bookshop by quoting the ISBN number and bought as an e-book or paperback through Amazon.
