Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

An extraordinary, beguiling bestselling tale of fly-fishing and political
spinning, of unexpected heroism and late-blooming love...

This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary-
notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and
getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who
finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the
Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course
of British political history for ever.

With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a
weasely spin doctor, Fred's devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted
salmon - SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is a novel about hypocrisy and
bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and
love.
