Island paradise. Mecca for clubbers. Home to exuberant transient workers. Third most magnetic spot on Earth. Place where dreams come true, and nightmares too. There are many sides to the Balearic island of Ibiza, and as many different stories.
Set over 24 hours at the height of the season, One Day In The Promised Land follows the antics of a selection of the players who make up the island’s lifeblood. From the starry-eyed lovers to the rep who’s planning the party to end them all; and from the boisterous yet hapless holiday-makers to the girl making a desperate and courageous dash for freedom, we meet a collection of characters as enthralling, beautiful, insane and exhilarating as the island itself.
Each individual story takes a snapshot of Ibiza as seen from the perspective of the narrator, and paints a picture of the island that is usually only glimpsed by those who have visited this modern day Sodom and Gomorra. If Robert Altman, Irvine Welsh and Hunter S Thompson went on holiday to the White Isle, their postcards might read a little something this. One Day In The Promised Land takes you under the skin and into the mind of this wonderful island paradise, and introduces you to some of the humans who make Ibiza what it is.
It’s almost as good as being there yourself.
One Day In The Promised Land is the debut novel of Ryan Greenpike.
