CAST A HOROSCOPE was the first of the series JIGSAW to be written and is a good place to start the tale. If followed by the first three volumes of GREEK LETTERS QUARTET and then the remaining novels in COMING OF AGE, with the final volume of GREEK LETTERS at the end, the books will be read in an order which enhances the story; that said they can be read in any order!
Look on them as a romantic historical family saga covering 200 years and many of the major events of the amazing era in which we have lived.

The series JIGSAW charts the fortunes and adventures of Rosalind, her ancestors, her partners and offspring, their family and friends with six main characters: Samuel, Soula, Helene, Rosalind, Andrew and Gerald. The whole series explores issues such as cowardice, power, loss, alcoholism, early pollution, childbirth including the attitude to illegitimacy and abortion, same sex feelings or relationships, climate change, blackmail, fire including forest fire. The books often take on a feeling of a thriller but with historical accuracy paramount and a true spirit of place they aim to be a journey and a history. Settings in Greece, London and the north of England and Wales are common to the series. The narrative of each follows a theme and embraces the two centuries when, after the Battle of Navarino in 1827, following 400 years of almost continuous Ottoman occupation, Greece became an independent state at last. The locations in Greece aim to reflect the vast knowledge of Greece Suzi acquired during her professional life as a tour operator. The voice used in each book deliberately echoes the period in which each book is set.

The GREEK LETTERS Quartet splits the four volumes into fifty-year periods of Modern Greek history. Much of the story line is set in the Peloponnese. The Map to the left can be enlarged to show you all the areas of Greece.

The four books in the COMING OF AGE Quartet are set chronologically before the final volume of GREEK LETTERS, but the crafting of the books means that they all can be read in any order. Cast a Horoscope is an insight into the 1960s before mass tourism in Greece. The Scorpion's Last Tale set in Corfu at the time of the Colonel's Junta in the early 1970s, is followed by Bright Daffodil Yellow which begins in Kyrenia before the Turkish invasion in1974. The Glass Class is set in Yorkshire, ending in Athens and Spetses.


THE GLASS CLASS, THE SCORPION'S LAST TALE & CAST A HOROSCOPE all draw heavily on the Yorkshire scenery, especially around Calderdale, click on picture of the Ryburn dam below for link to THE GLASS CLASS, a mystery, thriller and crime story set also in  North Wales, Athens and Spetses island.
Add to this more Welsh scenes including Portmeirion, London and Greenwich, the Lake District, Corfu and much of Europe, Cyprus and mainland Greece in BRIGHT DAFFODIL YELLOW and the four volumes of THE GREEK LETTERS QUARTET and it is true to say the JIGSAW series is truly European!
