Inhaltsangabe

On hearing about the death of his estranged father, young, high earning and fast living stockbroker, Sebastian Llewellyn Jones travels from New York to the sleepy coastal village of Solva to pay his final respects.

Set in 1975, Sebastian arrives in the backwater West Wales fishing village to discover the locals in disbelief as a dead beached whale blocks the harbour entrance and utter mayhem ensues. Sebastian learns that his fisherman father has been living a double life, and within his Last Will and Testament he sets his son a challenge which could, if fulfilled, set the stockbroker up for life.

On the other side of the harbour live the Tepee, an alternative community living at one with nature but discordance with the villagers who threaten their eviction. Amnesiac Sol mysteriously turns up in the harbour one night with a message, if only he could remember it.

Challenging modern day materialism, selfishness and man’s apparent determination to destroy the planet, this quirky, humorous tale will have you enthralled from page one.
