  • My Little Greek Escapade (Or How to Expand the Consciousness)

    Following a small accident, Mandy Carter wakes up in hospital with a puzzling phrase buzzing in her head: Expand the consciousness. However, she has far more pressing matters to worry about: her boyfriend has left her and, with a bank statement permanently printed in red, the bank manager has cancelled her cheque book and bank card and the bailiffs are knocking at her door. To momentarily forget all her troubles, on impulse, she purchases a return flight to the island of Kos in Greece for the bargain price of £79. The catch is that nothing else is included in the price. Consequently, Mandy arrives in Kardamena’s town square at three o’clock in the morning not knowing anyone, not speaking the language and having nowhere to stay. Hence begins the most challenging week of her life that will make her rethink everything about love, life and the very concept of human existence. But nothing phases Mandy Carter for she is blessed with the temerity of youth, the courage that comes with an adventurous spirit… and quite a bit of luck too.
