"American historian, journalist and travel writer Jeff Biggers for three decades and in his latest book crosses over the water from the mainland to the captivating island of Sardinia. DH Lawrence wrote in 1921: "Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel." On the 100th anniversary of Lawrence's visit, the author took a journey around Sardinia to experience the diversity of its food, wine, ancient festivals and traditions. From the island's sparkling coastline, to the rugged, less-travelled interior, his thoughtful prose invites us to consider that the evolution of Sardinia has not just shaped Italy but Europe as we know it today. A consummate storyteller, the author deftly weaves his modern Sardinian odyssey into the fabric and folklore of this enigmatic island with a light touch that carries the reader along."
