About this listen
Planes Trains and Automobiles meets Rain Man - meets Slumdog Millionaire.
Once a successful comedian, Simon Travis thought he had fallen as far as he could - until he embarks on a harebrained scheme that ends up with him penniless in India with an eccentric homeless man, in search of a rare pig that might solve all his problems. As the truth of his companion’s history unfolds, Simon becomes torn between the diverse forces of aspiration, loyalty and love for a good woman. A dramatic finale awaits.

persistent Wind or Perseverance to win
Simon Travis does not start out as a likable protagonist, indeed he rather seems more antagonistic towards his own endeavors. Perseverance or persistence in continuing with the story and allowing yourself to travel with Simon, and Jonathon, on his journey to redemption is richly rewarded in a tale that warms and breaks the heart in equal measure. It must be said Mr Hawks you got me, in reaching the end I found myself so invested in the characters I was hoping to continue on with their journey. Will Simon stick to his truth, can love formed in such circumstances progress and will Jonathon ever learn a second joke. Here's hoping for more.

Everything you want in an audio book
This book is thought provoking, heart-warming, and particularly engaging to listen to listen to, especially as it’s read by Tony, the author, with wonderful characterisation. NOT BORING. A memorable experience and good use of my time.
