Cheeseburgers in Paradise: Memoirs of a Barmaid

by Niamh Oliver

Welcome to the California BarIn 1996, my sister and I found ourselves living and working far from home in Rota, a town in Andalucía, Spain, which hosts a huge US military base. We spent our nights serving cervezas and shots of Jägermeister to homesick American sailors. Our lives were a heady cycle of working until 3 am, dancing until dawn, and sleeping all day. But everything changed when my sister was attacked by an AWOL Spanish sailor, setting off a chain of events that we could never have anticipated.

A solid memoir. Made me feel nostalgic for my 20’s while I’m still in them
