The hilarious, thought-provoking new novel from the Somerset Maugham and British Book Award-winning Ben Brooks.
Arthur Candlewick spends three days in a disused mineshaft with only his son’s drug stash, a book on the concept of ‘effective altruism’ and a bottle of medium-priced Bordeaux for company. When he emerges, he has made the life-changing decision to become a good man.
Deciding to sell the family timber business and give away his wealth to charity, Arthur’s family becomes convinced that he has lost his mind.
