| Abstract: | 'I have all that a man newly turned fifty can reasonably desire, other than a job, a settled relationship and confidence in the future.' Douglas Findhorn Elder is all washed up. Or so he thinks. He has split up with his partner, jumped (before he was pushed) from his job at an ailing Edinburgh newspaper, and moved back into his now empty childhood home. But on the night of his fiftieth birthday, after a few too many glasses of red wine, he makes a new friend a talking toad called Mungo. And life takes an unexpected turn. Soon Douglas is travelling to the Highlands, Mungo in tow, on the wild goose chase of a lifetime. Awaiting them at crumbling Glentaragar House if they ever get there are its sprightly geriatric proprietor, her enigmatic granddaughter, an alcoholic teetotaller with a three-way personality split, a whisky-smuggling conspiracy, and maybe even a shot at redemption |
