When Jacky visits the tiny Indonesian island of Gili Air, she envisages idyllic beaches, breathtaking sunsets and deep tranquillity.

As she dodges a potential tsunami and falling debris and fights for an escape route to safety, will she weather the storms of her nomadic life or head home to Spain?

I really liked the voice of the narrator. I knew this as soon as she said the title and read the prologue. I'm not just saying this-some voices for audiobooks, I haven't liked as much. I settled straight into this one telling me the story.
The author is in Indonesia. A powerful start, describing the devastation and injuries. Great description which captures the place perfectly. No one seemed too worried, there’d be just a few aftershocks, then all would be calm and serene again.......wouldn't it?
Brilliantly described, it must have been so scary. It's raw; shocking. You get exactly what it was like from the writing. The devastation, and the desperation to escape the island.
I love the musical chapter titles. Lots of musical refs-every chapter title is a song-all totally relevant, and help set the scene. I remember these mainly from reading the book-I'm not so sure they would have stood out to me if I'd had the audio edition first? The tracks sort of went through my mind as I read, but it didn't come across quite the same when someone was reading it out to me, not singing. That's a small point though.
I thought the timing was well done-I realise it’s probably how it happened, but it makes for an unpredictable journey. Travels of a lifetime became the adventure of her life.
It was great to experience this book again, I enjoyed it just as much on audio.
Excellent book, great narration

It’s a riveting memoir of Jacky’s very interesting, & memorable, for all the wrong reasons, visit to the previously idyllic Gili Air. This tiny Indonesian island next to Lombok suffered a series of fatal earthquakes in 2018. Jacky gives a detailed account of how she, other tourists and the locals were affected by the devastation; and how very difficult the following days were for people.
