Gannet Has Landed

Product Description

This humour-tinged romantic adventure follows the experiences of a young Scottish veterinary student called Doogie OMara who takes a year off his studies to get his head together following the death of his parents but also to escape the claustrophobic influence of the daughter of his elderly home-town vet who assumes that Doogie will not only become his partner but his daughters as well! Doogie sets out to start a job as a tour rep in Africa with hopes of finding time to study the wildlife too. Instead he finds himself on the Spanish island of Mallorca thust in at the deep end of the madcap package tour business
- a hapless fish out of water for whom the nearest thing to wildlife appears to be the hordes of rowdy holidaymakers pouring off the gannets (charter planes) from the UK. He is taken under the wing of Angie a world-weary rep whos taken all the knocks & has a fatherless toddler to prove it & is befriended by Catalina a pretty young Mallorcan girl working for the same tour company but from a country background similar to Doogies own. The outlook gets better still when Angie is posted to Ibiza & leaves Doogie her flat & her little car. Unfortunately she also leaves her toddler in the care of her dotty old neighbour to whom Doogie is now living next door. Problems are bound to arise & they do with Doogie right in the middle of them! Despite everything however his relationship with Catalina develops & when the time finally comes for him to leave the island Doogie must decide if there may be more to life than a secure though potentially claustrophobic career as a vet back in Scotl&.
