What it is

A month in Greece. Four islands. A little Greek, a loose itinerary and time to let the days unfold. Andrea Bakas travels alone through Greece with a question that has been gathering in her for years: Is there a place? A place to return to. A place to know. A place that might, in time, feel like home. Stones Over Sand is a memoir of place and return, shaped by travel, memory, encounter and the enduring pull of Greece.
