Never before-and possibly never since-has a Mediterranean island inspired as
much enmity as did the Spanish isle of Majorca for prolific French writer
and protofeminist George Sand during the inhospitable winter of 1838. Her
ill-fated stay there, which later became the subject of her book Winter in
Majorca, was to have deleterious and far-reaching consequences for both the
novelist and her famous companion, composer Fredric Chopin.
