Description
"The hilarity of it all! This book really embraces Greek life." - Reader review

"Another triumph for this author. You can't help but admire the courage it takes to leave behind a settled existence in Scotland and set off on a Greek adventure." - Alan Hill, journalist and reviewer

Following on from the first two Amazon best-sellers (Things Can Only Get Feta and Homer's Where The Heart Is), Marjory, Jim and their crazy terrier Wallace are on a second hilarious odyssey in southern Greece but this time they end up in a peninsula they didn't choose, and a house they never wanted to live in. How did this happen? Easy, this is Greece and nothing ever goes to plan.

The couple's latest adventure in Koroni, on the Messinian peninsula, takes them on another perilous and funny journey, with house rental dramas, scorpion threats, a publishing upheaval, and much more. But when they are finally seduced by the charm of unspoilt Koroni, make new friends, grapple with Greek lessons, and reconnect with some of the memorable characters of their Mani days, they discover once more why they are in love with this resilient country, despite its ongoing economic crisis. And there's not even a sting in this tale. Well ... not one you might imagine!

What readers love about A Scorpion In The Lemon Tree:

"This book is rare within the travel writing genre. It cleverly combines a travel narrative with enlightened observations about Greece, while retaining a light and entertaining touch." - Peter Kerr, best-selling author of Snowball Oranges

"Marjory McGinn has done it again! I have just loved sharing her adventures in Southern Peloponnese, and am eagerly awaiting another one." Sandra McKenna, book blogger and reviewer."

"She has a lightness of touch that even makes reading about the dark shadows cast by the economic crisis a joy." Richard Clark, author of the Greek Notebook series. An excellent ambassador for Greece."

"I have read a lot of travel books but this author is one of the very best writers."

"A gem of a book. Much more than a travel memoir, you get a feel for what Greeks are thinking."

"This book deserves to be on every traveller's bucket list."

"All three memoirs are often funny, sometimes sad and always interesting."

"What a wonderful storyteller Marjory is."

"Thank you. Hurry up with a sequel. I would like to be part of your world again, even if it's not in Greece."
