Isabel Burger would normally consider herself lucky. An unexpected inheritance takes Isabel, a trained chef, to Crete, where her German father left her a country house complete with its own olive grove.

Isabel’s insolvency administrator gives her four weeks to sell her house on Crete as best she can and use the proceeds to pay off her creditors.
