Lifelines
Searching for Home in the Mountains of Greece
Sinopsis
A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE MONTHMagical... A book that will refresh your soul. Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive Farm___
THE TRUE STORY OF A COURAGEOUS LEAP INTO A NEW LIFEIn 2000, burnt out by city living, Julian Hoffman and his wife Julia took a bold step: they left everything behind and moved to Prespa in northern Greece – a remote landscape of vast lakes, snow-capped mountains and stone villages.
Here, their seasons are punctuated by unforgettable encounters, including nesting summer pelicans, a springtime stare-down with a bear and a winter meeting with fourteen tiny birds above a frozen doorway.
Lifelines is a story of new beginnings – of searching for home in an unfamiliar place, finding community across borders and truly discovering your place in the world.
