There they find themselves part of an eccentric cast of characters including their debonair host, a relentless venture capitalist and a great comic villain in the form of the local dentist. There is also Beetle, with whom Mimi is completely and simply in love. As everyone relaxes into island living and the demands of real life drift away, the holiday hijinks culminate in a very Mediterranean prank - the cutting down of the dentist's prize lemon tree.'Breakneck romantic escapades of young Tonks-like heroines¿ Paris Review
