Publisher's Synopsis
Life-changing events often herald a much-needed rebirth. When Alastair McLeish-Pidkin arrives in Reading, leaving a failed marriage behind him, he has no idea of the incredible odyssey that awaits him. The town which he views as a distinct entity, with its own pulse, soul and heartbeat, gradually reveals itself to him through its varied characters, shared experiences and bizarre twists. Who is Mayfly? Who is Dave? And doesn't everybody need a Dave? Alastair certainly does. "That's for sure."
