"Kim has an incredible ability to make people and environments alive only through their words. I can easily see, smell and experience the same horror that the people in the book do when they fall into a natural disaster. But in the midst of all misery there is also a beautiful description of the city of Lisbon as it may have looked before the earthquake. Kim takes you on a wonderful trip to her Lisbon. Her love of the city shines through every word. " Ingela Svensson
"I was incredibly surprised by Kim taking me on a world trip through time. She took me to Lisbon in 1755. From her story, I could feel, see and hear what happened every now and then. She painted a world that was simple for me to see. Kim tells me a living way and teach me history on the road. When I hear about something that's interesting, I'm looking for it. I searched for the Tsunami disaster in Lisbon and learned that it actually happened once in time, it made the book even more interesting, Kim has made me want to go to Lisbon and visit places that are important to the country. I would also like to make a trip in time. Imagine if it had been possible. Kim has written the book in a way which makes it very easy to read. It has many chapters that I think are positive. It only makes me want to read a chapter, and one more, and one more .... and that's what I did. It did not take long for me to read out the book. Kim has included both historical facts and pictures from her research while in Lisbon. Thanks to that, I have come to know both the country and the city. Lovely. Thank you Kim for the exciting and very interesting book. "Elisabeth Andersson, mother to seven children
