Malcolm George Galbraith is a large,somewhat clumsy,Scotsman. He's being forced to leave the woman he loves behind and needs to explain why.
So he leaves her a handwritten note on the kitchen table (well,more a 300-page letter than a note). In it,Malcolm decides to start from the beginning and tell the whole story of his long life,something he's never dared do before.
Because Malcolm isn't what he seems: he's had other names and lived in other places. A lot of other places. As it gathers pace,Malcolm's story combines tragedy,comedy,mystery,a touch of leprosy,several murders,a massacre,a ritual sacrifice,an insane tyrant,two great romances,a landslide,a fire,and a talking fish.
