“Nobody writes about the Swedish islands and the life that exists on them through the seasons better than Julie Lindahl. ...she does for Swedish islands what Peter Mayle did for Provence!”
- Arshad Jamil, “Reviewer”, USA.

“Rose in the Sand is a delight to read. Julie Lindahl writes beautifully, combining specific detail with sensitive, lyrical descriptions of the surrounding nature during the constantly shifting seasons, together with her own reflections of life. At times her prose is truly poetic.”
- H. Arnold Barton, Swedish-American historian, America’s Swede of the Year 1988.

“Reading Julie Lindahl’s Rose in the Sand is not like reading a book at all. It is like listening to soothing music, or watching an elegant movie or even more so, feeling like you are part of the movie...If you have not read this book, you are missing something in life.”
- Sundeep Waslekar, President, Strategic Foresight Group.
