"A literary travel memoir about Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais, where sightseeing becomes time-stretching." "Ricarda Wilhelm spends a few unforgettable days in Lisbon with the women closest to her heart - a city she first came to know and love when she sailed in from the Baltic Sea. In her warmly personal travel narrative, she invites the reader into this captivating Portuguese capital, a city that casts its spell on so many and has become a chosen home for more than a few remarkable souls. Together with her, the reader wanders through winding historic neighbourhoods and the sleek modern Expo district, visits Lisbon Zoo and the Ocean rio, explores the storied riverside quarter of Bel m with its most celebrated landmarks, and ventures out to Cascais on the Atlantic coast and the enchanting hill town of Sintra. Ricarda Wilhelm wishes her readers a thoroughly comfortable journey - taken from the sofa, with no plane tickets, no luggage and no delays, nothing required but a love of reading and a little time to spare."
