In this second tome of travel diaries, Jean and John Dillon write about travelling in the latter decade of the twentieth century and into the mid-noughties.
Covering peregrinations from chilly Moscow to the sunnier historic sites of Corsica, or taking us from Latvia to Japan and on to Australia, the diaries chart everything from academic jaunts to Mediterranean weddings. Jean’s keen nature-loving eye provides details of the flora and fauna, as John records how the classical times have survived, despite the ravages of mass tourism.
At the heart of the journeys, as always, is Katounia, on the island of Euboea in Greece.
Please check back for details about the book’s launch on 26 January, 2025, at Books Upstairs in Dublin.
