It is November 1991. Euro Disney is under construction, rising like a fantastic beacon out of the mud of Marne-la-Vallee. And three people are sitting in the cavernous interior of Big Thunder Mountain, waiting.
Sam believes himself to be on a mission to depose Mickey Mouse and to restore to Disney World its 'lost' figurehead. Ilse Klein - a German canteen assistant who can fry fifty eggs at once - and Raymond Black - a Northern Irish construction worker - are his hostages. As a siege develops round the mountain, the novel reaches back into the lives of these three characters, from post-war Stuttgart to sixties Berlin; from latter-day Belfast, to present day Los Angeles and Paris.
Genre: General Fiction
