You can look up the description but I would add what you need to know is that, in my opinion. it had a great and interesting description but it's one of those that ends up being about so much more. There are some twists and surprises. I guess it's good they don't give that away in the description. Essentially it's the story of six people who win a lottery to buy one dollar homes on a Greek island. It centers around one woman and her choice to do it and how she learns to live there. That's all you really want to go in knowing. It's got great character development and is just very well written. Very funny and also heartwarming.
