At the centre of this maelstrom is sensible Collie Flanagan, first-born son and heir to his grandfather’s publishing fortune, whose easy life is shattered by the outcome of a casual afternoon outing. Affecting, funny and wise, this is a rollicking story packed with characters that are a delight to get to know, and are impossible to forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcerpt:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy name is Collie Flanagan.
