Description

Malcolm George Galbraith is a large, somewhat clumsy, Scotsman. He’s being forced to leave the woman he loves behind and needs to explain why.

So he leaves her a handwritten note on the kitchen table (well, more a 300-page letter than a note). In it, Malcolm decides to start from the beginning and tell the whole story of his long life, something he’s never dared do before.

Because Malcolm isn’t what he seems: he’s had other names and lived in other places. A lot of other places. As it gathers pace, Malcolm’s story combines tragedy, comedy, mystery, a touch of leprosy, several murders, a massacre, a ritual sacrifice, an insane tyrant, two great romances, a landslide, a fire, and a talking fish.

Media Reviews

  • 'I raced through this unique, epic tale about history, memory and speaking your truth. Fabulous' Daily Mail
  • 'A glorious comic novel, a brilliant satire, an art work and a historical document. Never has the word “readable” meant more. Never has the word “manuscript” been more literal. Hand-written, rib-tickling, spine-tingling and heart-wringing. Uniquely brilliant' Stephen Fry
  • 'From beginning to end, a joy to read, crossings-out and all. A tale of mingled tragedy and comedy, disaster and triumph ... A handwritten love letter to a woman we never meet, that's also a love letter to humanity' Neil Gaiman
