Summary
Bucharest has fallen, and Harriet and Guy Pringle have escaped to Athens in the nick of time to find several of their old acquaintances there already. But even Guy's eternal optimism fails him when he realises that his former employees feel no gratitude or loyalty to him. Guy and Harriet both come to realise that with Greece threatened by the Axis Powers, Athens is not the safe harbour they thought.
This is the third and final part of The Balkan Trilogy, which began with The Great Fortune and was followed by The Spoilt City.

the story is also a very good description of repressed middle class British manners at that time.
the setting of SE Europe in 1940 and the invasion by the Nazis and Italians is interesting to learn about.
There are many characters so these books require careful listening which may not suit those who want a simple story.
the books are extremely well narrated.
