Donkeys on My Doorstep: Hoofing It in the Mallorcan Hills

Brimming with humorous and lovable characters, this memoir, Nicholas's fourth, is a charming take on the simple and rewarding life of rural Mallorca

 

The dream is near completion. Anna is loosening the reins on her London PR company to spend more time in Mallorca with her family, cattery, chickens, and goats, and insists their menagerie will only be complete with not one donkey, but two. She attempts almond harvesting in the countryside amid summertime ant and wasp infestations, and attends a traditional wedding and the spectacular Sant Juan horse festival in Menorca. Meanwhile, she befriends an elderly poet whose love letters to his fiancée during the Spanish Civil War waft into her field, unveiling a poignant story of bravery and sacrifice.
