In the familiar sensitive and thoughtful storytelling readers came to appreciate in Karen Martin's first book, Dancing the Labyrinth, the author returns to Crete to continue Cressida's story in her new novel, Delphi. Only this time the main character, on her way to self-knowledge, must resort to the Oracle of Delphi in order to be able to heal the wounds of the past.

Delphi will be launched at The Greek Centre (168 Lonsdale St, Melbourne) by Dean Kalymniou on Sunday 17th of November at 3pm.
