"Letters from Mallorca" is the true story of time spent in "Hospital Joan March," situated high in the hills of Mallorca. A blood infection resulting in a three-day fever had alerted Kevin to the fact that something was desperately wrong, and within hours he'd had an emergency operation to remove his left foot. Over the next six months he gets to know the patients and nurses; improves his Spanish, and has some comical adventures with fellow "Inmates," Ramon, Leonthio, "Oldham John," "Mr. Burns" plus the effervescent "Fruitcake " He also falls madly in love. This is a positive, life-affirming and confident true and honest story. Whilst deeply personal, it offers an amusing and entertaining look at everyday life on a hospital ward in a foreign country, where the language barrier provides as much amusement as it does frustration, and is highlighted to great comic effect. The reader is taken right to the heart of Kevin's world and allowed the most intimate view of his life, and comes away with a feeling of hope, inspiration, and a nice warm gooey feeling inside
