Aurora, Me and Sardinia

2015 | Biography

Newcomers to Sardinia in 2005, Terry Dillon and his wife Aurora were captivated by an island of long sandy beaches and sunshine. Once holiday-makers living in agriturismo, they decided to buy a house. After much searching they settled for a property in the North Western corner of the island just north of Sassari and Alghero and west of Porto Torres, within sight of the sea ...and so began their fascinating and challenging ten years on one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful islands. Aurora, Me and Sardinia describes how they searched for a house, took on a property which had been allowed to fall into disrepair and survived the first of their hot summers with builders tramping through every room in a house which they were determined to make welcoming for themselves and for guests. Their experience is told with a humour which makes the book a captivating read.
