Author Rebecca Hall has recently released her debut travel fiction / memoir novel, Girl Gone Greek.

The self-published book, available on Amazon (£6.99), follows Rachel who is finding it increasingly difficult to ignore her sister’s derision, society’s silent wagging finger and her father’s advancing years. She’s travelled the world, but now finds herself at a crossroads at an age where most people would stop globetrotting and settle. She’s never been one to conform to the nine-to-five lifestyle, so why should she start now? Was it wrong to love the freedom and independence a single life provided, to put off the search for Mr Right and the children? Perhaps she could find the time for one last adventure…
With sunshine in mind, Rachel takes a TEFL course and heads to Greece after securing a job teaching English in a remote village. She wasn’t looking for love, but she found it in the lifestyle and history of the country, its culture and the enduring volatility of its people. When Rachel moved to Greece to escape a life of social conformity, she found a country of unconventional characters and economic turmoil. The last thing she expected was to fall in love with the chaos that reigned about her.
Girl Gone Greek has received global acclaim for the charming story interwoven with the reality of a changing world, none less so in Europe. Through her writing, Rebecca lays bare the many misconceptions associated with Greece.

The novel is a poignant, relatable and realistic portrayal of life in a new culture that will make you want to take the plunge, learn a new skill, start a new life and fall head over heels in love with Greece and Europe.

About the author

After extensive global travels, Rebecca left the UK to return to the country she fell in love with – Greece, where she counsels students on Personal Statement writing for University, maintains her travel website – Life Beyond Borders – and wryly observes that the chaotic nature of her adopted country actually suits her personality very well.
She is a Rough Guide co-author and has contributed to numerous publications including Apollo Business Class Magazine for Cyprus Airways and Let’s Go for RyanAir, the Daily Telegraph Travel Section and her container ship voyage from Athens to Hong Kong caught the eye of NPR National Radio in the United States, where she was interviewed twice. She is also a contributor to the Huffington Post travel section.
She is now a full time travel writer, a member of the British Guild of Travel Writers and divides her time between the UK and Greece, appreciating the benefits of both countries.
When not writing, you’ll usually find her drinking coffee with her friends, or sourcing a new place to eat baklava.
