Embarrassing subtleties of the language, brushes with the local police, the unfortunate outcome of a drinking session.. .surprises are aplenty to test the resolve, stamina &, perhaps more importantly, the sense of humour of this venturesome (some would say foolhardy) emigre family. Their eccentric & colourful new friends are always on hand to help out
- for better or worse
- & add spice to this engaging account of tranquilo life from the author of Snowball Oranges. All the charm of Mallorca: where you seldom do today what can be more judiciously put off till manana! Follow Peter on Twitter
