The Monastery of Fools

About this ebook
Three people, three strangers, start off from different paths of life and meet under very peculiar interweaving circumstances. Yiannis decides, on a whim, to side-track from his journey and sets Dionysis's life as well as his own, on a different path. Paulina sees her life almost ruined, before she meets and subsequently is rescued by Dionysis, whom she ironically almost destroyed in the process. All three gain in the course of this journey, with the aid of each other as a silent ally and liberator, creating an eventual about turn in their fortunes and lives. Does the old monastery, with its powerful magnetism, kindly nuns and wise old father, hold a special divine power? Was it just an arbitrary coincidence or was it a conspiracy of their guiding stars that brought them so close to each other in an unbelievable journey of self-discovery? Among a backdrop of Greece, Cyprus and London, friendships are confirmed and renewed, talents emerge, souls are bared, sins are forgiven and hurts start to be healed.
