Summary
This is a novel of family, grief, and the ties that bind us to the past. A former monk, now wheelchair-bound, persuades his nephew to hijack a van so he can fulfil his last wish - a visit to the woodlands of his parental home. The joke becomes more complex as family roles rearrange themselves.
