Dalla quarta di copertina

Having battled and succumbed to the mañana pace of rural Mallorca in his best-selling Snowball Oranges: A Winter s Tale on a Spanish Isle, spring sees Peter Kerr and family relaxing into a supposedly simpler way of life, growing oranges on their little valley farm, Ca s Mayoral.
However, even after their tragicomic initiation, Spain has not yet finished with them. Embarrassing subtleties of the language, brushes with the local police, the unfortunate outcome of a drinking session . . . there are surprises aplenty to test the resolve, stamina and, perhaps more importantly, the sense of humor of this venturesome (the author would say foolhardy ) émigré family.
Their eccentric and colorful new friends are always on hand to help out - for better or worse - and add spice to this engaging account of tranquilo life. Here is the charm of Mallorca: where you seldom do today what can be put off til mañana.
