Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Johnson, retired and living in Torquay, has lost interest in virtually everything and suffers from boredom and a sense of futility. His sense of humour has vanished. His wife, Ann, desperate for a change and failing to jolt him into returning to be the man she married, visits Aberdeen to see friends.
Michael, confronted by powerful dreams, is persuaded by one to visit London whilst Ann is away. Determined to right a few wrongs, suffered when young, he creates some situations in which his dormant sense of humour returns.
The experiences of the couple when apart, have challenging repercussions especially when Michael is visited by someone whom he met in London. Some weeks later, one of his sinister dreams has a dramatic impact on the family.
The book reveals a sensitive and sympathetic understanding of the problems many face but is balanced by an imaginative humour aimed at the way we live today.
