Ewan Heighway is not happy - with anything, so it seems. When he's called back to work in the office as opposed to working from home, aka the pub, he's disappointed - until his nemesis Polly, who is also his boss, sacks him. A chance meeting with a colleague as he's clearing out his desk gives Ewan the opportunity to do something completely different - and which will involve him making regular trips up the M1 to his birthplace in Yorkshire.
The new job - a driving job, means Ewan can rekindle some of the acquaintances of his past and meet the woman who's caring for his elderly mother. However, Ewan suspects Stella, the carer, of something more than simply looking after Louisa, his mother. He suspects her of trying to steal his birth right - namely, the bungalow where he grew up.
Amidst his suspicions, the echoes of his youth, his long-suffering wife and not quite as long-suffering (because he's only just turned eighteen) son, Ewan becomes embroiled in a situation that fast becomes uncontrollable - just like Ewan's drinking habits and flatulent bottom, but against all odds, will Ewan rescue his inheritance and keep what's rightly his? More importantly, will Ewan actually learn something in the process? Mark Liam Piggott's first novel for Provoco is a jolly romp through the Jam Generation - the disillusioned, fifty something's convinced the grass is greener on the other side. If only they could find the other side! A hilarious coming of age novel with a difference!
