Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Description

When he is asked to become involved in a project to create a salmon river in the highlands of the Yemen, fisheries scientist Dr Alfred Jones rejects the idea as absurd. But the proposal catches the eye of senior British politicians.

Fred then finds himself forced to work with the eccentric Sheikh Muhammad and his beautiful assistant Harriet. And then there’s the small matter of figuring out how to fly ten thousand salmon to a desert country – and persuade them to swim there…

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love.
