£6.99 Paperback
In this humour-tinged romantic adventure, Doogie O’Mara,
a young Scottish veterinary student, applies for a gap-year job
as a tour rep in Africa, where he also hopes to find time to
study the wildlife. Instead, he finds himself on Mallorca, thrust
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.
Problems are bound to arise, and they do, as does the bewitching influence of Mallorca and a beautiful young Mallorquina called Catalina. When the time finally comes for Doogie to leave the island, he has to decide if there’s more to life than a secure career as a vet back in Scotland. More...
