A book that will lift you and quicken your heart as to all that is possible!
Another great book by a wonderful author; I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series! - David G Cox
The Gypsy’s Dream is a delightful yet challenging story of self-discovery, immersing you in rural Greek life where the simple setting betrays the complex interwoven lives of the villagers who live there.
Light-hearted yet unafraid to delve into the dark, the story simultaneously follows the lives of two females, one in her youth and the other in her older years, whose unforeseen encounter impacts them both forever.
Abby, a naïve yet headstrong teenager from England, storms out of her family house and boards a flight to Greece. With the promise of a bar job lined up for her by a friend at home, Abby gets hopelessly lost and ends up in the wrong village. Alone with very little money, unable to speak Greek and with no way to contact her friend at home, Abby finds she has to stand on her own two feet for the first time.
Trapped in an abusive marriage to a cruel husband, Stella, from a Gypsy background, has spent her life believing she doesn’t deserve the good things life has to offer. A lack of self-belief has Stella feeling gratitude for having married at all and so settles for a loveless life with her husband Stavros.
Seeking work in the village, Abby meets Stella who runs the local ouzeri, a rough and ready eatery where farmers gather to drink and take refuge from their domestic lives. Although kind-hearted, hardworking Stella does not need a naïve young English girl hanging around. And the ouzeri is far from the glamorous bar that Abby had bargained for.
But fate throws the two together, and begins a journey of upheaval and self discovery as tensions that have been brewing for years begin to surface for Stella. Unforeseen events unfold and the threat of Abby ever leaving becomes real.
As dark secrets are unveiled, will Stella ever find the strength to put her own happiness first, and will Abby ever be able to return home?

My favorite in the series is the first...but the third book in the series is a great story of a young lady by the name of Abby running away from England to a job in Greece...only she lands in the wrong place but is able to land a job in a small Greek cafe with Stella and Vasso's. It is time for Abby to grow up. She is a good girl and learns that home is not what she had in her mind. Abby becomes part of the village and despite Stella's initial reservation becomes a very close friend, Vasso is an abusive, controlling and lazy husband. Can't wait to read the next book in this series...read this one on the beach! I felt like I was in Greece! Don't get the Greek Village and Greek Island Series confused...I did! :)Product details

The Gypsy Dream The Greek Village Series Book 3 edition by Sara Alexi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
There is a saying "it takes a Greek to know a Greek". Whether the author, England born Sara Alexi, is of Greek descent, she certainly understands the Greek mindset and customs. Her characters are universal, especially the Greek male. Her portrayal of the peasant Stavros, an overweight and cruel husband, is typical of many poorly-educated Greek men that of a wife is subservient to the husband, and it's her fault she cannot have children. Ms. Alexi shows compassion for the gypsies that roam throughout Greece and other European countries. Her writing is easy to read and her descriptions of the small Greek isles are vividly portrayed, enabling the reader a feeling of being there. You sense the hot Mediterranean sun warming your body. I read two of her Greek Village Collection and they follow true to pattern, only the plot changes. Ya Sou, Sara Alexi.

The new character Abby the young girl from England also, adds interesting slant and events. This book also does excellent job in bring out both Stella and Vasso's personalities and rolls in village. Only two minor points for me were someone as young as Abby making a snap decision and within less 48 hours she is in small Greek village in the Peloponnese just off the coast. The second is It seems Juliet it the books following the first has become the source for all correct solutions to problems of the other villagers. Strange how after her struggles in book one it was her friend Michelle who offered up solutions for Juliet.
These two items are minor because once again Ms. Alexi does an outstanding job with descriptions of the village, town and Greece in General. Good book! Good reading you won'not be disappointed!
This book confused me at first. I thought it was about Abby, the British girl who runs away to Greece (no spoilers), but it was actually about someone she meets on her first day in a tiny village. If I could, I would rather give it 3 1/2 stars, but 3 stars seemed mean-spirited, as I enjoyed the story, while it was not at all my usual reading matter! The beginning was a bit bleak compared to the usual "Greece" stories, but this atmosphere improves much later on. There are a few formatting and grammar mistakes, but it's really too minor to mention. The story is basically light, in some ways a little predictable, and although the style flows nicely, the timeline confused me. So much happens in a few days, which to the reader feels like weeks gone by -- it's as if the days in the village are endlessly long. The problems of the main characters are resolved a little too smoothly in the end -- I felt as if there should be a sequel to tell us how it all panned out. (Is there a sequel, maybe?) Well worth reading, if not madly exciting, but I enjoyed it.
Over the last week I have been relishing the book by Sara Alexi, "The Gypsy's Dream." Having read the first three, in the series, I can say that her books have common threads . . . simple ones, like a cat walks through; or a goat's bell tinkles, the lonely donkey brays sadly. A village full of pent up humanity . . . love and callousness . . . hunger and understanding. The sun shines warmly, and a walker may take us up into the hill, where there are visions from the top while we rest under the cool breezy trees . . . We look out towards the village and what emerges as a beautiful vista is the map of this world . . . the shadows are deep and compelling, and the houses, white with reflection from a brilliant sun . . . The watcher thinks about her life . . amazed at the beauty of the village from on high . . . and ponders her next step before she walks back down towards her troubles . . . renewed and ready . . .
These books have given me such joy and insight into life, and people . . . hope and dreams, love and sorrow. I enjoy them so much I wish they would never end . . . I wish I could be there . . . to help support the characters in their endeavors and passions . . . to weave the pattern of the map of their lives . . . as they intertwine and lead each other into the light of inner peace, understanding and acceptance.
I must say this is the best book I've read in years. The life of a teenage runaway from England from this day and age who runs off to a tiny village in Greece by accident, is absolutely wonderful. she learns fast how to do without any modern conveniences and how life really is. Her wonderful "muse" is a woman she works for, a Gypsy, who's story runs parallel in the book with hers. The Gypsy has to learn to love her heritage and respect herself and this little teenager teaches her that. She teaches the child to grow up with grace. It only takes place for one week but you feel you've watched several years of their life take place. The mysteries in the village bring the story much meat and excitement and romance. It's worth every word and I hope to find many books by this author...I'd read every one. Her mind is genius!
My favorite in the series is the first...but the third book in the series is a great story of a young lady by the name of Abby running away from England to a job in Greece...only she lands in the wrong place but is able to land a job in a small Greek cafe with Stella and Vasso's.
