"A magical and hugely captivating journey - filled with such beauty wonder and surprise. A simply marvellous read hugely recommended" - Stephen Fry A real-life journey through the fantastical world of The Odyssey It started with a boy of course. Seeking solace from the pain of heartbreak and her father's illness Laura Coffey embarks on what was meant to be a simple holiday. But her newfound fascination with ancient Greek myths transforms her trip into a six-month odyssey around tiny archipelagos and mystical Mediterranean islands thought to be the setting of Odysseus's epic journey. As she chases one of the most conflicted flawed and yet beloved heroes through his fantastical sea-kingdoms looking for the places where geography and mythology collide she discovers the wild beauty of the islands and the redemptive powers of travel and nature cold-water swimming long hikes up mountains and luminous star-lit skies. But her quest to find happiness safety and the true meaning of home is overshadowed by the deepening illness of her father. Returning as he's dying forced to confront the very things she was running from Laura reflects on what she has lost how to live between story and reality and the way we craft our own mythologies. Slipping between the mythical realm and the real world she finds enchantment and healing in the magic of both. "If you love memoir and Greek mythology this is a delight. A spellbinding book about growing up grieving and the gods." - Clare Pollard author of Delphi
