Inheritance
(2017)(The first book in the Village Idiots series)
A collection of stories by Sara Alexi
First in a trilogy of novellas, The Village Idiots sets the scene for a comedy of errors in a sleepy Greek Village, as two friends find themselves sinking deeper into trouble with each bad decision they make.
Spiros is a simple man who is easily led astray, but who has rarely wandered further than the village and its surrounds. Older, slightly more wayward and most definitely not wiser, Takis looks out for Spiros, whilst taking advantage of his younger friend's naivety.
When the duo, who generally scrape by doing odd jobs, discover they are heirs to an estate, they mistakenly believe that their ship has come in!
As they discover their inheritance is not all as it seems, Takis begins to plot their way out, dragging poor Spiros with him. As one escapade spirals in to another, Takis is easily lured by the money signs while Spiros finds his eyes are being opened to a wider world.
Amidst the ouzo and the scheming, this charming and comical tale will leave you eagerly awaiting the next instalment!
