When I started thinking about writing this book, I never thought I’d end up visiting and revisiting some of the places mentioned in the book or that I would find a connection between the places and the cafes and my own love for literature. There were times when writing this book I wondered what it was all leading up to – I mean, yes, Hemingway did wander around Africa a bit, Lord Byron swam the Dardanelles – but what of it? How would all this historic information make for an interesting read?
But in the end, I found that it was not necessary to tie everything up in pretty little boxes of conventional writing and so I followed my heart and revisited some of the places my two literary heroes had been to in their lifetime. And before I knew it, I was caught up in a world I didn’t know existed (though mostly in my over imaginative mind) and how I loved being in that world. Often, I felt Hemingway walking beside me – so, Lord Byron lived in my heart, but that is another story – speaking to me and encouraging me to simply ‘wander’.
So I did.
