Beschreibung
'Perfect for fans of 'A Man called Ove' by Fredrik Backman. Funny, moving, clever, mysterious and challenging, with a fabulous central character who always remains one strong-willed and whimsical man standing against the world.
Dominic likes anonymity, his local Drumcondra park, his neighbour's cat, Boris, and Mrs Hand who passes his front door always carrying two bags of groceries. But all is not as it seems. The Politician next door claims to be his wife, the Auld One his mother, the Young Woman his daughter and the Brat his grandson - the 'Onslaught'. Just as preposterous, they all say he's actually a Colonel on extended leave after being kidnapped and tortured. What especially irks Dominic is the 'Shrinkage' claiming he suffers from a rare form of memory loss. With unwavering conviction, he rejects all this while grumpily tolerating daily visits and interferences.
In surreal circumstances he discovers a large sum of money hidden in the Politician's garden toilet and during the Politician's election dinner has a strange staring match with a small girl which afterwards convinces him he needs a new identity. These events drive the narrative on until a fateful decision must be made.'
