A queer ghost is haunting (= falling in love) with George Sand in an abandoned monastery in Mallorca. It‘s creative, literary, bittersweet and definitely worth reading.

In 2016 I went with a friend of mine to see the Go-Go‘s during their farewell tour. This was a nice bit of symmetry, because I saw them in 1982 as the opening act for The Police. Anyway, I have no idea what song this is, but I‘ll pretend it‘s Vacation (All I Ever Wanted) for the sake of the prompt. 😎

The Posts and two of their close family friends go to Mallorca for a family vacation, but their problems still follow them to this beautiful island. Jim & Franny, Bobby & Carmen, Charles & Lawrence, and even Sylvia must deal with what life has thrown their way.

It's a rainy dreary day here, so what better to do than drink coffee and read a book set in Mallorca! 🌞 #coffeeandabook

A charming tale of all of life's changes as witnessed by Blanca, a teenage ghost. Her home is in an abandoned monastery in Mallorca. The author George Sand brings her 2 children and her lover, the ailing Chopin, to recuperate during their stay. The story unwinds through Blanca's viewpoint with interludes of her own story. All that echoes down the ages is our innate yearning for love, connection and acceptance.

DivineDiana This sounds so interesting! Stacked. 8mo
Soubhiville I‘m stacking too. 🙂 8mo

A very enjoyable read, set in Mallorca and Paris. It tells the story of George Sands and her children, along with her lover Frédéric Chopin, to move to Mallorca to help his ailing health. The story is narrated by Blanca, a ghost dead 300 years. It's very emotional and moving.
