In The Shade Of The Monkey Puzzle Tree was a lovely novel, that gave me the feeling of being there, living it with Theo as he experienced his mid life crisis.. It was a time when children felt responsible for their family and the family business. Theo had lived the devoted son life but felt there was something better out there for him. I was disappointed when he left his parents and the coffee shop like a thief in the night, but it all came around to make him realize his importance to his family and the village. It was a lovely read; no suspense, no sex, no deviance, just emotional involvement and decision making.
