The French author, Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin (aka George Sand) authored her romantic and travel novel Un Hiver a Majorque (1841/42), based on her life during the Winter of 1837-1838. She lamented how the frosty winter disrupted her travels, made her husband's tuberculosis attack worse, and forced them to cut short their holidays. See Dupin, "Un Hiver a Majorque" pp. 55, 81, 84 (La Bibliothèque électronique du Québec Collection À tous les vents 49, version 1.2). https://beq.ebooksgratuits.com/vents/sand-majorque.pdf
