A BASKETFUL OF SNOWFLAKES : ONE MALLORCAN SPRING

Book ID/图书代码： 00532005B09405

English Summary/英文概要： It’s the peak of orange harvesting season at the Kerrs’ little farm in the entrancing Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca, and the family are trying to relax into their new life on the sunny Spanish island. But it’s also crunch time and, after an eventful first year, hard facts have to be faced. Will all the work they’ve invested in restoring their finca provide them with a decent living, or will their dream turn into a nightmare? Will Peter’s new-found aptitude for manananess delay their home improvement projects indefinitely, or will long-suffering Ellie get her new swimming pool? Will 19-year-old Sandy return to Scotland, while young Charlie is seduced by Mallorca’s super-rich yachting set? Despite encounters with wry customs officers and wily tradesmen, the Kerrs’ sense of humour remains irrepressible.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在充滿陽光的西班牙小島上，日子對當地居民而言十分悠閒。不過，橘子採收旺季的春天裡，作者一家除了農務，還各有自己的計畫。在這美麗的山城裡生活了一年，男主人發覺他有些過去沒被挖掘出來的才能，女主人－「長期受折磨的艾莉」想要如願在這裡擁有一座游泳池，十九歲珊蒂打算回蘇格蘭一趟，而年輕的查理迷上了小島的貴族玩意──遊艇…在放棄穩定的收入之後，他們這一家還能維持或實現夢想中的美好生活嗎？還是這一切就即將成為一場惡夢了呢？陽光金黃、橘子金黃，如何讓夢繼續發光？作者用一貫的幽默筆法，將種種不適應與逆境化為有趣的文字，例如難搞的海關官員，當地耍心機玩花樣的工匠，雖然讓他們為之氣結，卻也成了最打動讀者、笑淚交織的另類移民故事。(TT)
