MALTA - THE FIRST LOVE

Do You Remember Your First Love?

The butterflies in your stomach, the sleepless nights, and that all-consuming feeling that takes over your entire being. Join Stig as he journeys back to the summer of 1986 and steps into the heart of Malta – and the heart of life itself. A holiday where the bonds between the boys are as strong as the scorching Mediterranean sun, and where love appears like an unexpected wave, washing everything else away.

This moving tale, based on a true story, invites you into a time and place where everything seemed possible. A time when the golden walls of Mdina held secret whispers, and a young boy’s first encounter with love left an everlasting mark.

Woven with humor, friendship, and blossoming emotions, this story reminds us that the most important moments in life never fade – they live on within us.

A book about the magic of youth, the first great love, and a summer never to be forgotten. Get ready to relive your own first crush as you’re swept away by the beauty of Malta and the memories that never fade.

"Do you remember those holiday crushes? Those moments when you wished time would stand still. Meeting a girl or boy who might have come from a completely different part of the country – or maybe even from abroad. Something that left a lasting impression. These very feelings are at the heart of Stig Ulrichsen’s charming and entertaining new book. It’s the perfect read for a relaxing afternoon at the beach – whether you’re in Malta, Mallorca, or at a campsite in Southern Jutland. A story that leaves the reader in a cheerful mood, perhaps sending you back in time to your own youth." - Jacob Krogsoe

"A great book – I’m especially impressed by the way you capture the era and the atmosphere so vividly that I can not only feel it, but also reflect parts of my own life in it. It’s quite sensory. And above all, it’s a deeply moving story." – Jan Eriksen
