About this Event
Seeking solace from the pain of heartbreak and her father's illness, Laura Coffey embarked on what was meant to be a simple holiday. But her newfound fascination with ancient Greek myths transforms her trip into a six-month odyssey, around tiny archipelagos and mystical Mediterranean islands thought to be the setting of Odysseus's epic journey. As she chases one of the most conflicted, flawed and yet beloved heroes through his fantastical sea-kingdoms, looking for the places where geography and mythology collide, she discovers the wild beauty of the islands, and the redemptive powers of travel and nature, cold-water swimming, long hikes up mountains, and luminous star-lit skies.
We are delighted to welcome Laura Coffey here at Hatchards this evening to reflect on this extraordinary journey and how we might live between story and reality to craft our own enchanting and healing mythologies.
We hope you can join us for what promises to be a spell-binding evening!
