	The Making of Mrs Petrakis is a heart-warming, heart-breaking story of love, life, family and, of course, baking. Mary Karras is a fresh and exciting new voice in fiction and her prose is every bit as delicious as the mouth-watering pastries sold in Mrs Petrakis' renowned bakery.
Other text	Split between war-torn Cyprus and North London in the 1970s and 1980s this is a story of the choices women have to make to survive, and a portrait of ordinary lives marked by loss and war and grief.
