All about one of those poor eedjits that everyone, including themselves, think are thick, and about land and corruption and money and bullying and cheating and lying pushing one poor eedjit to braking point. A haunting, beautifully written, painfully observed book, as tight and taut as a thriller, evoking the claustrophobia of the countryside when all your protections and protectors are taken from you and it turn out they've left you ill-prepared for life on your own. The great tragedy is that he was never as big an eedjit as everyone, including himself, thinks, and that even people who think they're great eedjits can find some solace and company, but only if they're allowed.
