A Lincolnshire solicitor's clerk keeps a diary of his small-town life — train delays, office gossip, fleeting romances — until he stumbles into something far darker. When he's asked to testify in a libel case involving the local paper, he finds himself tangled in a web of journalism, justice, and moral compromise. Michael Palin (yes, that Michael Palin) writes with a sharp eye for the absurdities of provincial England and the slippery nature of truth itself. It's quieter than his travel writing, more caustic than his comedy — a satirical novel about what happens when ordinary people collide with extraordinary situations. For fans of David Lodge or anyone who's ever wondered what truth actually means when lawyers get involved.
