A hilarious romantic and exhilarating journey through a Norfolk summer of long ago. A great read. Stuart James London
R. E. Buckhurst really has brought the characters to life in this funny, different and entertaining novel. More Please! Michelle Scott. Norfolk Island Australia
Jim Daily is a successful sales executive from London who loses his job, his wife and his home. Determined not to lose his children as well, he sets out on a journey of discovery and soul searching to establish himself as a man and restore his personal pride.
We follow his amusing and at times heartfelt, frustrations as he tries to put his life back together. Set in the rural idyll of the Norfolk Broads in a time before mobile phones and the internet, Jim Daily's journey twists and winds through the intricacies of different dialects and cultures that coexist in a slow moving holiday village environment.
A journey of laughter, love and relationships where all is not as quiet or as straight forward as it seems.
