Overview
The Hellenic Collection brings together nine novels from Scottish author Dougie McHale, each weaving dual-timeline stories of love, loss and buried secrets across Scotland and Greece. From a century-old portrait binding two couples across time, to wartime Corfu romances forged under the shadow of conflict, this nine-book paperback set suits readers who love emotionally rich, slow-burn historical romance with real heart and depth.
About the Books
Across this nine-book collection, Dougie McHale explores how the past shapes the present. The series opens with The Girl In The Portrait, where a century-old painting draws two modern-day characters into a secret mirroring their own fractured relationship. The Flight of the Dragonfly follows a devastating loss and a road to redemption, while The Boy Who Hugs Trees and The Homecoming explore the courage it takes to rebuild after heartbreak. A Moth to the Flame asks what happens when a life's love was founded on lies. Later titles, including Where The Sky Falls, Beneath A Burning Sky, Under A Broken Sky and The Island Between Us, move into the shadow of the Second World War, telling of love that blossoms at great cost in wartime Corfu. Throughout, McHale's storytelling is grounded in his affection for Edinburgh and Greece. Expect emotionally textured characters facing impossible choices and the quiet power of long-held secrets. Each novel reads as a satisfying standalone, yet together they form a rich tapestry of generational love, sacrifice and hope.
