📚📚In July's BOOK OF THE MONTH, Reading Greece presents "Hydra in Winter", a travel memoir by Shelley Dark.

"When Shelley Dark lands solo on the Greek island of Hydra for two weeks in the dead of winter, she’s not chasing sunny beaches. She’s hunting a pirate—her husband’s great-great-grandfather and Australia’s first Greek convict.

What starts as a frantic quest soon reveals that the real treasures are the ones you weren’t looking for".
