‘Shafik’s impeccable research and character-laden descriptions… [show] how South America’s links with Britain are still very much there and set to continue. ’ Wonderful to see #SmallEarthquakes featured in the launch issue of Mountains Magazine 🗻

‘Small Earthquakes marries vivid travel writing with rigorous historical research… The book is rich with quotes, anecdotes, and testimonies from both historians and local voices, making it immersive yet scholarly.’ Great to see #SmallEarthquakes in The Travel Memoir Review.
