Not Forgetting the Whale Author: J. W. Ironmonger

ISBN: 9781780227986 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 400 Published: 10 November 2015 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.9 x 13.3 x 2.5 Description: From the author of The Notable Brian of Maximilian Ponder and The Coincidence Authority, a book about humanity, love . . . and a whale. Includes reading-group notes.

When a young man washes up, naked, on the sands of St Piran in Cornwall, he is quickly rescued by the villagers. From the retired doctor and the beachcomber, to the flirtatious priest's wife and the romantic novelist, they take this lost soul into their midst. But what the villagers don't know is that Joe Haak is a city analyst who has fled London, fearing he may - inadvertently - have caused a global financial collapse.

But is the end of the world really nigh? Can Joe convince the village to seal itself off from the outside world? And what of the whale that lurks in the bay?

Intimate, funny and heart-warming, Not Forgetting the Whale is a story about community, the best and worst in our nature, and the search for a place to call home.
