Living, Loving, Longing Lisbon

Lisbon is a city of stories. They swirl like the Tagus tide, carrying whispered secrets through winding alleys and slip between the stones of forgotten ruins. In Living, Loving, Longing Lisbon, past and present blur, love and loss entwine, and the city comes alive. A one-night stand leads to a shocking transformation. A chance meeting on a train sparks a romance shadowed by history. A bitter Christmas wish takes an unsettling turn. Ancient gods, fading from memory, gather for a meal, while spies make use of Lisbon's neutrality during World War 2. From café terraces to riverbanks, from grand avenues to quiet miradouros, these stories capture the city's essence—its melancholy, its oddities, its pull on the heart. For those who have ever lived in, loved in, or simply longed for Lisbon, this anthology is an invitation to wander its streets once more.
