Transport yourself to the Lanzarote and Fuerteventura with these six delightful novels
Multi-award winning and translated into multiple languages, these Canary Islands novels continue to warm hearts around the world.
Written over a period of ten years, these novels capture the mood of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, each in its own way.
The stories are told mostly from the perspective of tourists and expats. Each novel is written as a standalone and covers a different theme. There is a story world that starts with The Drago Tree and ends with Sing Like a Canary. Characters come and go, take centre stage in one novel then retreat into the background in another. Here they are!
