Snowball Oranges
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I bought this book at LA Airport just before flying to the UK, and I have to say that reading it made short of the long journey. I read it in one go, and my outbursts of snickering and laughing must have had my fellow travellers wondering if I was a few oranges short of the pound. This book is unique in the travel genre in that the writer has a wonderful ability to tell his story as though it were a novel instead of just a travelogue. His sharply-observed portrayal of rural Majorcan characters and his vivid descriptions of the island's scenery and cuisine are so realistic that you can almost feel the sunshine, taste the food and smell the orange blossom. I enjoyed the book so much that I bought the sequel, 'Manana, Manana', as soon as I arrived in the UK, and it lived up to my expectations and more. Next day I booked my first vacation to Majorca, and I can't wait to visit the places so graphically depicted in these books. You can bet I'll be first in line to buy the third in the series whenever it's published. Estupendo, Don Pedro!
