Description

Witty, pithy, and brimming with memorable characters, Anna's third book about working between two places is a delightful tribute to Mallorca's rich and varied way of life. Life is never simple for PR consultant Anna Nicholas as she attempts to cut loose her ties with London for a rural existence in Mallorca with her family. Despite nearing her dream to open a cattery, she is thrown off course by the abduction of her beloved toad, a scorpion infestation, getting lost in the hills, and a growing fixation with ancient goats. Meanwhile, in London she's coping with loopy new clients—an amorous rock climber, a Bulgarian transvestite couturier, and a couple of warring designers.
