After her womanizing father suffers a stroke, then disappears from the hospital, Gia Kostas needs to upend her whole life—including her job at a foodie magazine and her rich fiancé—to find him. It turns out that Dr. Aristotle Kostas, a classics professor, has booked the research trip of a lifetime to try and prove a theory he’s been working on his whole life. Gia decides to join her father, and as they retrace the steps Odysseus took on his way home from the Trojan War, Gia finds herself learning more about her father, herself, and what she wants from life. A thread of romance ties in neatly with the broader themes of family and self-discovery, narrated with aplomb by Akaina Ghosh. This second installment in dyer’s “ExLibris Adventure” series (following Eighty Days to Elsewhere) stands alone.
VERDICT Listeners who enjoy mouth-watering food descriptions and who are hungry for an international adventure will find much to enjoy here.
