Description

Abandoned by time and reclaimed by nature, the Dodecanese islands offer a unique glimpse into Greece's complex history. Jennifer Barclay's journey through these deserted spaces reveals beauty in the ruins, emptiness and silence, and inspiration in the stories of people's lives.

From abandoned villages to cave-houses and captains' mansions, Barclay explores the homes of displaced communities and uncovers fascinating connections between islands, cultures, and continents. With a deep understanding of the region, she shares her own experiences and those of local people, weaving together a rich tapestry of stories and histories.

With its unique blend of history, culture, and personal narrative, Wild Abandon is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience in the face of change and abandonment. A long-term resident of Greece, Barclay brings a deep understanding of the region to this captivating journey.
