Now a Major Motion Picture starring Ewan Mc Gregor & Emily Blunt Winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction 2007. Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Newcomer of the Year, 2008. A Richard & Judy Summer Read Selection. Written as a "report into the circumstances surrounding the decision to introduce salmon into the Yemen", this is a novel that is made up of e-mails, letters, diary extracts, records of the prime minister's Question Time, interviews, & chapters from the memoirs of a fantastically weaselly Peter Mandelson-type figure. The " Yes Minister" comparisons are justified (and there is some brilliant, hilarious political & bureaucratic satire here), but at its heart, this is the story of a hen-pecked, slightly pompous, middle-aged scientist who finds himself caught up in what seems like an impossible project, & of how this project changes his life. In the process, he becomes an unlikely & rather loveable hero, discovers true love for himself, finds himself both a pawn & then a victim of political spin, leaves his brilliantly horrible wife, & learns to believe in the impossible. & he takes the listener with him in the process. Abridged edition with a full cast including John Sessions, Samantha Bond, Andrew Sachs, Andrew Marr & many more.5 ...
