Beschreibung

When Shelley jets off for two weeks on Hydra, she's not seeking a sun-kissed Greek island escape; instead, she's chasing the story of her husband's great-great grandfather-Australia's first Greek convict, and a pirate! Undeterred by chilly rain and zero Greek language skills, she begins her search by appealing for help from the local archivists. But as she samples Hydra's fresh seafood and hikes the island's hills, the warm hospitality she encounters transforms her urgent quest into a joyful lesson in slow travel and ignites a new passion: writing. Her diary sparkles with funny observations on everything from powerful ship-owning families (her in-laws!) to the charm of the island's architecture, and its donkeys.
Hydra in Winter is as warm and witty as Bryson and Mayle-but with more pirates. Readers will fall in love with Hydra-and with Shelley herself.
A funny, heartwarming adventure for travel lovers, history buffs, Philhellenes, aspiring seadogs, procrastinating novelists, armchair adventurers, and anyone trying to keep the spark alive at any age.
"Reading Hydra in Winter is like drinking a bottomless glass of champagne-bubbly, refreshing, and bound you make you laugh." -Kyra Geddes, author of The Story Thief
"Chrónos is the measured, ticking seconds of daily life; kairós represents those rare, significant moments that transcend ordinary time. Hydra is kairós." -Shelley Dark

Über den Autor

After a lifetime raising cattle on Queensland's Granite Belt, Shelley traded the bush for the beach on the Sunshine Coast with her husband. When she's not writing novels, traveling, or capturing the world through her iPhone lens, she's marvelling at her clever grandchildren-or hunting for the perfect cream bun.A proud member of the ALLWRiTE Club, Shelley finds inspiration among a writers' group as colorful as the characters in her books. Her next novel, Son of Hydra, is set for release in 2025, followed by Daughter of Cork, the story of a pirate's wife. Whether on the page or in life, Shelley's adventures are just beginning.
