A crime thriller set in WW2 BERLIN
HYDRA IN WINTER: An Island Escape in Search of a Greek Pirate
Location(s): Hydra
Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs
Era(s): modern day
When I land solo on the Greek island of Hydra for two weeks in the dead of winter, I’m not chasing sunny beaches. I’m hunting a pirate — my husband’s great-great-grandfather and Australia’s first Greek convict.
Armed with an umbrella, a cashmere scarf, and zero Greek skills, I’m ready to conquer the archives. But Hydra has other ideas: fresh seafood, exhilarating hikes, cats, donkeys, and warm, eccentric locals. What starts as a frantic quest soon turns into a lesson in slow travel, with the bonus of a midlife reset.
Funny, warm, and sparkling, Hydra in Winter will enchant solo travellers, lovers of travel books, history buffs, Philhellenes, aspiring seadogs, procrastinating novelists, seasoned travellers and armchair adventurers, and anyone trying to keep the spark alive at any age.
