Laura Coffey is happiest in motion. She's newly addicted to cold-water swimming, has an old addiction to adventure, and writes about the wild beauty of the palces she visits and the peoples he meets as she roams through the world. Her debut book, Enchanted Islands - Travels through Myth and Magic, Love and Loss is the story of her journey around the islands of the Mediterranean searching for the real life inspiration behind the fantastical lands of the Odyssey, and combines travel and nature writing with memoir, and a twist of mythology. 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. It's accessible, not remotely academic, and has been endorsed by Stephen Fry, who described 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 writings of Octavia Bright or Madeleine Miller, this is a beautiful story of love and heartbreak, travel and adventure.
