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

By Purpledogstar

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!

Good story. Good characters. 6 Feb 2007

By David Pearce

Format:Paperback

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

Encapsulates the tenderness and brutality of a community 13 Feb 2011

By ceriithomas

Format:Paperback

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.

A great read

As Aidan prepares to go underground to make his protest I was fearful. What would he do down there and how would the writer sustain the story in such a limited space? Read more

Wonderful!!

What a fabulous read! The subject matter may appear a bit claustrophobic for people at first sight but the book is less about the practicalities of a man being buried in a coffin... Read more

Another excellent novel by the author of The Red Jag and other stories and All This Is Mine. Although the basis of the story is a clever (and often funny) idea, this book is much... Read more
