If you’d like to read one book about Ibiza, well, you must read “The White Island” by Stephen Armstrong.
Armstrong tells for the first time the fascinating history of this fantasy island. It is a story of invasions and migrations, of artists and conmen, of drop outs and love-ins. This narrative is framed by Stephen’s highly entertaining experiences during one long, golden summer on Ibiza, an island where anything can happen - and it usually does.
Armstrong’s incredibly likable, unobtrusive presence, his slightly hopeless attempts at casting off his reserve and joining the party, his genuine interest in the native and adopted islanders, make this the most delightful and entertaining travel book you could hope to read this summer.
