Torday: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Torday: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist, for whom a notable event is the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush or getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in ‘Trout and Salmon’. When Alfred finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen his life, and the course of British political history, is changed forever. With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a weasely spin doctor, Fred’s devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted salmon - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love.
