"I absolutely LOVE that stunning image on your post and on your site," wrote Marissa Eigenbrood, President of Smith Publicity. "Where did that come from?"

The artwork was created by Helen Doner and it graces the cover of A Life on Water, a novel set in Lisbon during the early 1940s.

Why would a novel set during the war be so colourful?

While the rest of Europe was at war, Lisbon was neutral and didn’t experience the destruction and despair that many parts of Europe suffered during that tumultuous time.
