Description
Are you ready for a quest?
Australian boxer, Perc Morgan is on the canvas. Holed up in a mining town after a disastrous fight, he can only wonder about ever again rising to success, sporting or otherwise. However, as he walks the dusty town by day, by night he begins dreaming about water, signalling the start of a latter-day Arthurian quest. Pretty soon this tale of rowing, redemption and sewage sees him joining forces with a bunch of fellow "knights", encountering a Merlin figure known as Sir Baz and coming to the disconcerting conclusion that finding his holy grail might just depend on the notion of pure filth!

Last year I had the pleasure of reading the same author's Charlie Echo for the first time (it's a book one can read several times). Second novels are often disappointing but this one certainly isn't.
Once again, Andrew Bullas has written an original plot in a highly innovative style. And, once again he's managed to sprinkle some literary allusions to bring a smile to every bibliophile's face - Arnold Bennett, Malory and Tennyson.
I love the way the river itself, Old Father Thames, plays such a significant role. And I was totally fascinated when the author introduced Sir Joseph Bazalgette and his Victorian sewage system. This novel deserves the sweet scent of success.
