It's a very amusing shaggy dog of a book set on Mallorca in the 1930s with some quite serious historical perspectives along the way.

I thought this book was one of the most obscure ones recommended but it looks very easy and interesting. Hope the translation suffered no loss. Apart from Amazon it has about 4.00 points at Goodreads.
