Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Majorca has both sun and shadows..
Island in the Sea
What you need to know before your trail
Juliet loves music – it’s in her blood, it’s her passion and as her job as a senior executive at Yesterday Records.
Now, her boss has sent her to Majorca to work with a rather ‘special’ client. Lionel Harding is a tortured soul yet one considered as one of the best song writers of the 20th century. He’s a multi-Grammy award-winning lyricist of the third most recorded song in history. But now he’s 42 and six months overdue on the his latest paid assignment.
Juliet is not leaving Majorca without either new lyrics or a very large check.
Travel Guide
Island in the Sea? Holiday like you’re a singer songwriter yourself
“She had only been in Majorca for two days but already she though the whole world consisted of narrow streets and bright plazas and views of fishing boats bobbing on the Mediterranean. She saw the Tramuntana Mountains and sweeping green valleys and olive trees clinging to the cliffs.”
Stay in the exact same hotel as Juliet does – Hotel Salvia
Stroll around the island as Juliet does when she’s not dealing with the stroppy Gideon that is. If you meet someone of this name here, you might want to avoid him. (Just incase it’s the guy from the book)
The itinerary
The island is explored and displayed in various ways but the journey via Sóller, Lluc, Sa Colabra, Banyalbufar to name just a few towns on the route are worth the price of the book alone
The history of the island is also evoked with snippets of history and inbetween the glitz and glamour of the music industry, this makes for a nice and interesting visit!
