After London born university student Sarah Stevenson returns from an enjoyable holiday in hot, sunny Crete, with her Anglo-American student boyfriend Tony Hamilton, she seriously considers upping sticks and moving there. However, it is a further three years until they can afford another holiday and that happens after Sarah becomes a geography teacher in a middle school, and Tony qualifies as a neuroscientist; this time to a beautiful but failing Italian island, and this is to change the course of both their young lives. When Sarah hears from the mayor that the island will be a ‘ghost’ island within ten years because its population is diminishing rapidly, she decides to resign from her teaching job to help save it. Despite a group of inhospitable locals on her back, who protest vigorously when she tells them she intends selling hundreds of abandoned properties to foreigners for the token price of one euro per dwelling, and importing migrant labour to do the restoration work, she eventually wins through.
