Aphrodite lives on the beautiful and remote Greek island of Kythnos. Her peaceful existence is disturbed when an aloof English woman, Grace, comes to live in her village. Grace finds life in Kythnos an ordeal and struggles to fit in. Despite the clash of cultures, the women become good friends, working together in Aphrodite's taverna. Following a series of catastrophes, Grace leaves Kythnos to help her nephew with his hotel in Cornwall, where life proves even more challenging. Aphrodite knows Grace is unhappy in Cornwall, but she's never left her home in Kythnos before. However, when she is unexpectedly given the means to visit Grace for the Christmas holiday, she agrees to go and vows not to return without her friend. However, Aphrodite's task proves problematic, and she discovers that life outside the haven of her island is full of strange and unusual people who present her with a series of challenges that make her resolve never to take another holiday.
