Description

The Roundabout Man by Clare Morrall He lives on a roundabout in a caravan, surviving on leftovers from a nearby motorway service station. Quinn's life is one of solitude and secrecy, but he's not the person you might expect. Quinn has a secret: he's the real Quinn, immortalised as a child in his mother's tales about a little boy's adventures with his triplet sisters. This inheritance he's tried to escape, until now. When his reclusive existence is disrupted, he must confront his past and all its uncomfortable truths. A witty and observant exploration of modern life, The Roundabout Man plumbs the gulf between nostalgia and reality, revealing a complex and nuanced portrait of a man struggling to come to terms with himself.
