For two British journalists, embarking on a year's adventure in Greece just as the country faces economic collapse seems foolhardy. But when they also decide to take their adored but crazy Jack Russell, called Wallace, to a crisis-weary country with zero dog tolerance, the adventure seems like madness ...
In the third installment of the Peloponnese series, Marjory, Jim, and their spirited dog Wallace embark on an unexpected adventure in the southern Peloponnese. This time, they find themselves in a peninsula they didn't choose and a house they never imagined living in, showcasing the unpredictable nature of Greece. Their journey in Koroni, located on the Messinian peninsula, is filled with humorous and challenging experiences, including house rental issues, scorpion encounters, Greek language classes, and an unforeseen publishing conflict. As they navigate these trials, they gradually fall in love with the charm of unspoiled Koroni, forge new friendships, and reconnect with memorable characters from their past in Mani. Through it all, they rediscover the depth of their affection for Greece, with a hint of suspense lingering in the background. The book stands out in the travel writing genre, skillfully blending narrative with insightful observations about Greece while maintaining an entertaining tone. Readers will find each page rich with new and intriguing content, reflecting the author's talent for capturing the essence of her experiences, even amidst the shadows of the economic crisis.
