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.
