Description
Laura Coffey's Enchanted Islands A Mediterranean Odyssey is a captivating memoir that weaves together love, grief, and mythology in a magical journey through the Mediterranean. As she travels through the islands thought to be the setting of Homer's epic journey, Coffey discovers the wild beauty of the landscape and the redemptive powers of travel and nature. However, her quest for happiness and safety is overshadowed by the deepening illness of her father, forcing her to confront the very things she was running from. Through her odyssey, Coffey reflects on what she has lost, how to live between story and reality, and the way we craft our own mythologies. A spellbinding book about growing up, grieving, and the gods, this memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves memoir and Greek mythology.
