Although their relationship is very stable and solid, Jane is going on holiday alone with her family to the idyllic Balearic island of Menorca this summer. Benjamin is very sad that he cannot accompany her - especially because Menorca is the place where Benjamin spent many summers as a child and teenager. He would have loved to show his girlfriend all the places, beaches and secret spots. During the holiday, however, Jane realises that the time spent with the family is soon becoming too much for her and increasingly complains to Benjamin in messages and calls. Through her reports, Benjamin himself remembers his past holidays on Menorca - but he soon realises that this time was not only characterised by pleasant memories... The sensitive, emotional novel is a homage by the author Elias J. Connor to the paradisiacal Mediterranean island of Menorca, which is based on facts and can be seen as a sequel to the novel BENJAMIN.
