Lost in Ibiza by Rebecca Frayn

Lost in Ibiza by Rebecca Frayn

Alice is a twenty-one-year-old environmental activist determined to change the world. Her life is turned upside down when she discovers that the man who raised her is not her father after all. Her biological father, William, turns out to be a wealthy property developer living in Ibiza, whose values seem radically at odds with Alice’s own. Events take an unexpected turn when father and daughter inadvertently find themselves on a road trip across the island that will change their lives forever. By turns poignant and humorous, Lost in Ibiza is a searing insight into this much-mythologised island and the collision between the personal and the political.

'I raced through it'

* Daily Mail *

'Frayn has contrived a in-depth observation of family life, one that has become fluid through the book by one person making a move' 

* A Knight's Reads *

‘Rebecca Frayn’s compulsively readable odyssey is impossible to put down and makes us reflect on our own lives and choices.’

-- Hannah Rothschild

‘Rebecca has gifted us a whip-smart yet thoroughly enjoyable summer read. The sun-soaked island ofIbiza is the perfect setting for her highly original and scorching social commentary where affluence, hedonism and the climate crisis intersect.’

-- Nat Kelley

'Unputdownable. A beautifully resonant tale of modern times. This is my novel of the summer.'

-- Arizona Muse

'An uncomfortable story of privilege, power and comeuppance. Rebecca Frayn’s timely tale is a call to arms. It will — and should — resonate deeply.'

-- Maya Boyd
