Newcomers to Sardinia in 2005, Terry Dillon and his wife Aurora were captivated by an island of long sandy beaches and sunshine. Once holiday-makers living in agriturismo, they decided to buy a house. After much searching they settled for a property in the North Western corner of the island just north of Sassari and Alghero and west of Porto Torres, within sight of the sea ...and so began their fascinating and challenging ten years on one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful islands. Aurora, Me and Sardinia describes how they searched for a house, took on a property which had been allowed to fall into disrepair and survived the first of their hot summers with builders tramping through every room in a house which they were determined to make welcoming for themselves and for guests. Their experience is told with a humour which makes the book a captivating read.

Terry Dillon has led a successful life in education as a headmaster, one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, and as an international educational consultant, advising national governments in Romania, Montenegro, the Caribbean and South Africa. He was born in a mining village in the West Riding of Yorkshire, where he started to play the cornet. His military service was spent as a musician with the Band of Her Majesty's Welsh Guards. He began his teaching career in Skipton and now lives in the Cotswolds, where he is a member of Creative Campden and a governor of the local primary school, St Catharine's. His other books include 'Light Me a Candle,' 'The King's Beacon,' 'Quarry Lane,' 'A Long Way Home,' and 'Justice'.
