Repacking for Greece: A Mediterranean Odyssey:
"I very much enjoyed Unpacking for Greece, and after a long winter and in need of some sunshine, I was keen to join the author on the second part of her odyssey to follow in the footsteps of her mother on her trip to the country in the late 1970s.

| An easy, YA read, but also thought provoking, profoundly touching and with a powerful sense of place. And it's clever! The two protagonists are beautifully drawn as relatable, flawed human beings - and the revelation of how these two characters' live ...more | |

Two Old Fools Fair Dinkum: The seventh page-turning memoir from the New York Times bestselling author:

“Passive and disconnected, I was trapped in the mundane. And it wasn’t helping me get my bearings, either. To do that, you need to walk. You need to climb steps, sniff the breeze, listen to the sounds of the city. You need to feel the cobbles beneath your feet and the sun’s heat on your neck as you consult maps and ask for directions and take wrong turns and find your way back again.”

“In many ways, my week at Limnisa was the most uneventful of my travels, a hiatus from adventure. In others, it was the most significant. It had a deep effect on my psyche â€� deep enough to inspire a dream, weeks later, in which I was writing this book.”
