Product Description

The future looks bleak for Aidan Walsh. He stands to lose his job as the last major employer in a dead-end Welsh town prepares to close its factory and relocate to India. Then Aidan hatches a startling plan. He buries himself alive in a coffin in his back garden, announcing that he's not coming out until everyone's job is saved.

Slowly, people warm to his cause, locally at first and then from futher afield as news of his remarkable protest travels. And so begins a titanic battle of wills between an unlikely hero and a powerful corporation.

Unputdownable! 27 April 2007
Format:Paperback
I can highly recommend this. I read it whilst I was travelling on the buses - the writing flows so smoothly and I was so drawn in, I kept missing my stops!

Very good book. Funny, thought provoking, dark. The best thing is the motley crew of characters. A good mix. Well worth reading.

Aiden might not be the most obvious candidate to become an MP - a middle-aged factory worker with no previous involvement in politics. But his unusual means of protesting against the closure of an electronics factory draws worldwide attention and exposes him to the sometimes ruthless glare of the media.

As the community reacts to Aiden's confinement, the coffin encapsulates the tenderness, and sometimes the brutality, of a closely-knit South Wales community.
