Letters From Elena

'A captivating and gorgeously written tale of nostalgia and renewal' Sophie Hannah

'A warm and heartfelt examination of what attracts us to others and what keeps us connected over the years' Catherine Simpson

'A perfectly woven story of past and present friendships' Valerie Griffin

April Zarney was ten when her best friend, Elena, disappeared. It was July 1974 and rumour was that Elena’s family had headed back home to war-torn Cyprus.

Thirty years later, with two failed marriages behind her and her career as concert pianist in jeopardy, April decides to run away to Cyprus to find out what really happened to her friend.

Letters From Elena is a love story exploring family, identity and displacement through the faulty memories of three generations of women, each on a journey to make sense of their lives and the world around them.
