Author: Laura Coffey (St John's)
Publisher: Summersdale
A lyrical odyssey about love, loss, and Greek myth, Enchanted Islands is a memoir that blends together Laura’s experiences navigating heartbreak and grief with her quest to map the real-life islands that inspired the wanderings of Homer’s epic hero, Odysseus.
Stephen Fry describes it as: "A magical and hugely captivating journey - filled with such beauty, wonder and surprise. A simply marvellous read, hugely recommended"
Fluidly moving between the warm, confessional tone of Dolly Alderton and the insightful meditations on literature, myth, and storytelling found in the writing of Octavia Bright or Madeleine Miller, this is a beautiful study of love and heartbreak, travel and adventure.
