There is great depth and honestly in Ms. Alexi's portrayal of the diverse characters in The Illegal Gardener. The novel expertly interweaves the lives of an English woman with the residents in the small Greek village she impulsively moves to. After leaving her home and children she becomes part of not only the village community but also forever changes the life of a stoic, insightful young refugee from Pakistan. Ms. Alexi's realistic account of village life - as well as the difficulties faced by both the residents and the many illegal refugees in Greece - is done with a compassionate understanding of cultural and individual differences. The author brings a guileless candor and realism to her well-developed characters' epiphanies about love, family and friendship while avoiding the banal and formulaic.
This was a very enjoyable story. It's a story of 2 people who have a solid friendship - it was just that, a friendship. The historical aspect was interesting and the author showed how difficult life was for some at that time. But the main characters were able to overcome the obstacles and it was a very real story. It is written very well, even with the few grammatical errors. The ending was unpredictable & a great end to a great story.

About the Author
Sara Alexi was born in Oxford, England. She has travelled widely and now splits her time between England and a tiny rural village in the Peloponnese, in Greece, where she is has renovated a ruined stone farmhouse, whilst observing the Greek way of life and absorbing the culture, to enrich her vision for both writing and painting.
As a qualified as a psychotherapist Sara ran her own practice for years. Her artistic nature was, during that time, confined to painting and she exhibited widely. Her move to Greece was the catalyst that began her writing.
Her 'Greek Village Series' has been very well received and provides a keenly observed, compassionate insight into the Greek people and culture, and the human condition in general.
