New historical novel commemorates the life of the heroine of the Greek War for Independence

NEW YORK - March 10, 2023 - PRLog -- Katherine Kaye, author of Sailing with the Wind of Freedom: Lascarina Bouboulis and the War for Greek Independence, was inspired by a chance visit to a quiet Greek island to write about the heroine of that country's hard-fought battle for freedom from Ottoman Turkish rule.

As Greek Independence Day approaches on March 25, the novel's release is perfectly timed to celebrate the woman who helped launch the ultimately victorious struggle for Greek autonomy. And the book is also a great recommendation as Women's History Month is commemorated during March.

Kaye's interest in the life of Lascarina Bouboulis, the legendary heroine of the Greek War for Independence, began when she visited the Greek island of Spetses in 1984. From this now calm island in the Saronic Gulf, Bouboulis, who became known to history as Bouboulina, helped launch the Revolution of 1821 that would free part of Greece from Ottoman Turkish rule.

A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to The Bouboulina Museum on the Greek island of Spetses and the American Farm School in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The author resides with her daughter in New York City and is available for media interviews, readings and other events.

Book Description:

In March 1821, a ragtag group of Ottoman subjects in a remote corner of the Sultan's vast empire makes a desperate bid to reclaim a long-suppressed national identity. United by courageous leaders, they wage war against the power that has occupied their country for over 350 years. One of these leaders, a woman known as Bouboulina, helps them build a naval fleet. Sailing into battle in her own flagship, she proves that her sleek warships can defeat the cumbersome Ottoman men-of-war. But the Sultan is amassing all his forces―on land as well as sea―to crush the Greeks. Can Bouboulina save the Revolution?
