From one of the greatest comedic writers of a generation comes a story of love, faith and taxidermy. Aged seventeen, two lovers perch precariously on the cusp of adulthood. Timothy Pickering is a budding taxidermist, following reluctantly in his father's footsteps. Naomi Walls dreams of a career on the stage. But one of them is about to drop a bombshell that will quash this burgeoning romance. Three years later they meet again, this time both on their respective honeymoons -- each the epitome of marital bliss. But there is trouble in paradise, and old emotions are raised to the surface. Their two lives continue to interweave, but will destiny unite them ultimately? This is a novel of great scope that spans a quarter of a century. It is often funny, often moving, but also has serious points to make about love, faith and families.
