Summary

Planes Trains and Automobiles meets Rain Man - meets Slumdog Millionaire.

Once a successful comedian, Simon Travis thought he had fallen as far as he could - until he embarks on a harebrained scheme that ends up with him penniless in India with an eccentric homeless man, in search of a rare pig that might solve all his problems. As the truth of his companion’s history unfolds, Simon becomes torn between the diverse forces of aspiration, loyalty and love for a good woman. A dramatic finale awaits.

Unusual plot

Loved every minute, sad when it finished. Characters rounded and interesting, felt invested in them all

Everything you want in an audio book

This book is thought provoking, heart-warming, and particularly engaging to listen to listen to, especially as it’s read by Tony, the author, with wonderful characterisation. NOT BORING. A memorable experience and good use of my time.
