description: This hilarious novel charts the rise and fall of Magnus Merriman - would-be lover, writer, politician, idealist and crofter - moved by dreams of greatness and a talent for farcical defeat. A satirical and irreverent portrait of Scottish life, literature and politics. Nothing is sacred and no-one is spared!
