The fear that twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did can cause people to take extraordinary leaps of faith. Abandoning the rat race for an isolated Mediterranean island to learn to fish and barter for your daily bread is one thing. Doing it as first time parents and a crazy dog called Tetley is a whole other kettle of fish.
This is a story about a man, a woman, a baby and a dog who follow their dream to settle on Lipari, one of the spectacularly beautiful 'Islands of the Winds' floating in a volcanic archipelago off Sicily. He plans to get back to nature and learn to live like an islander, she to escape her worst nightmare of becoming a suburban mother obsessed with designer prams, nannies and school waiting lists.
But abandoning all you know to make a new life on the other side of the world is never as easy as it looks and much harder than you can ever imagine. Relationships can be strained. People can be strange. And having time to stop and think is confronting in more ways than one. But then along comes a man called Nino who could teach Zorba and the author a thing or two about life, love, growing olives and finding your place in the world.
Finding Nino is about making the dream of a sea change a reality and learning what really matters in life from someone who's seen it all.
