- Synopsis
- Larry MaCabe is a man who needs people more than most . . . The problem for Larry is that most people have little need for him.Larry MacCabe is a retired academic, a widower, and until a chance meeting with the administrator of a care home, also friendless. At her suggestion, he adopts a Basset Hound and joins her one Saturday at the local park. He becomes a regular visitor, and for the first time in his life the member of a gang. While his new companions prepare for the annual Blessing of the Animals service on the Feast Day of St Francis, Larry puts the finishing touches to a conference paper he’s due to present in Jerusalem and arranges a house-sitter. Neither the service nor his visit to Israel go to plan, and on his return Larry is charged with conspiring to blow up a church and complicity in the deaths of four people. All that stands between him and conviction is a personal injury lawyer – and things for Larry aren’t looking good...Praise for J Paul Henderson:'exceptionally good...The characters and plot are fantastic and I really couldn't praise it enough' - Bookseller'There is heartbreak...black humour... and some of the charm of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry' - Daily Mail'A fascinating and poignant novel' - Woman's WorldFor fans of Rachel Joyce and Jonas Jonasson
