Description
Sam is 27 and needs a job. He gets one from Keith, who claims to be a second cousin of his father. Keith's job seems to involve a lot of driving around, getting out of the car for a few minutes, and then getting back in. As the days go by, Sam learns more about Keith's life, including stories about his first boss, Geoff Crozier, and the people he meets on the job. Keith's friends are a varied bunch, including flirty Hazel-Claire, who buys pasties with them every day, and a few receptionists. Sam also gets glimpses of Keith's past, which adds to the sense of ordinary life in all its poignant and funny moments. Joff Winterhart's depiction of everyday life is a masterclass in capturing the mundane and the humorous, making this a poignant and entertaining read.
