"The Greeks believe that if you lose your way along the Oregano Trail, then you are lost in life. I used to think that was a load of rubbish. But now, this feeling I have...this hollowness that fills every nerve-ending - am I lost now?" Seeking an escape from normality, Karrie Hannigan leaves Dublin in 1999 to spend a summer on the Greek island of Karytos, leaving behind Joe, who has just become her boyfriend. Yet Karrie is determined to find adventure in this far-flung place. Surrounded by new people, a job in a popular restaurant, and lots of cocktail-fuelled nights out to manoeuvre, it becomes hard to keep the relationship going. Add a male room-mate, Declan, and the old adage, can men and women be friends? Especially with little more than a sarong between them. A wild summer follows with entanglements, breakups, and the ache of lost love, leaving her uncertain about her path in life. Fast forward four years and Karrie finds herself in a controlling marriage, on a path she never meant to take. She yearns to escape again. Greece beckons, promising freedom and a chance to change direction. Has she the courage to leave and go back to where she last felt found?
