More About This Book

Overview

On a perfect sun-kissed morning in a beachfront resort in Thailand, Petra Nemcova was packing, getting ready to leave her bungalow, when she heard screams. Suddenly, people were running in all directions as thunderous, ear-splitting noises rent the air. In the next instant, she was fighting for her life...

Like thousands of other people caught up in the tsunami of 2004, Petra and the love of her life, photographer Simon Atlee, had no warning, no last chance to say good-bye. For eight terrifying hours, in excruciating pain from a shattered pelvis, Petra found refuge in the branches of a palm tree. The sun beat down mercilessly as she drifted in and out of consciousness. The world around her was in chaos. Now, in this stirring and poignant memoir, a courageous young woman tells her moving, unforgettable story.

Love Always, Petra is more than a first-person account of a terrible tragedy; it is the story of a working-class girl who went from a communist-controlled childhood in Czechoslovakia to the cover of Sports Illustrated; it is the story of a woman and a man falling in love amid the glittering world of high fashion. Most of all, it is a story that forcefully illustrates the power of nature to not only change our lives but teach us to treasure the gifts of love and life.

    Just Wonderful

    Love Always, Petra is truly an inspirational book. Petra is a world famous supermodel that has over came so much in her life. Petra survived the horrible tsunami of 2004 in Thailand however the love of her life, Simon did not. Falling in love is such an amazing, magical gift and when you loose that gift it is very difficult. Everyone can relate to Petra¿s story in some sense, whether you¿ve been in a disaster or lost someone you loved deeply. In this book Petra speaks from her heart and after reading this you feel some kind of connection to the tsunami and expertly a personal connection to Petra. I loved everything about this book, being a young women myself, I can relate to Petra. I thought this book was wonderful, in that it gave you a person and heart behind the gorgeous face of Petra Nemcova. After finishing the book I wanted to tell everyone how much I loved them, because that was Petra¿s message, live everyday to the fullest because you never know when it will be your last. Everyone needs to read this book, it might make you cry so grab a box of tissue and curl up and read Love Always, Petra.

    A Wonderfully Written Book

    I read this book in one day it was a great. It is probably the best memoir you'll ever read. It's written so beautifully and really brings you into Petra's and Simon's relationship. I thought it would make me cry once or so, but I had to catch myself a few times (okay, more than a few). It really helps to put a face to the tsunami victims. Their relationship was beautiful and it's amazing how she still treasures it. This is a must read for anyone looking for a great love story.
