Publisher's Synopsis
LIFE IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD FOR MARTIN SPROALE. Forty-eight weeks a year for the last sixteen years, he has cycled to his job as assistant postmaster. In the evening he cycles home again. And every Thursday he goes for a drink with the sturdy Elaine. In fact, the only thing that's exceptional about Martin is his obession with Ernest Hemingway. But when Nick Marshall arrives with privatisation plans, Martin's life is turned upside down. And battling against ruthless modernisers, he plans the ultimate Hemingwayesque act of revenge.
