Description

What readers are saying:'Loved it!' ?????'My favourite book' ?????'One of the most wonderful books I have ever read' ?????'Stunningly funny' ?????This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary-notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history for ever. With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a weasely spin doctor, Fred's devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted salmon - SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love. 'Warmly recommended to anyone searching for feelgood comedy with surprising bite' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH'I really loved this book' Bill Nighy
