Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Product Information

The ruling party want to take advantage of the situation, but they do not want to dirty their hand in any way. They only want to show that they are on the right side, and if something terrible happens, it was because of these private institutions doing things, not the party. Jones winds up working mainly for Harriet Chetwode-Talbot, who is handling the running of the project for the Sheikh. Though the Sheikh is the man of money and is not ready to take no for an answer, he wants to see this happening, and he is prepared for everything to make it happen.

Similarly, the UK and America have placed their troops in the middle east, and they don’t belong there. It's a tongue in cheek look at the most boring man in British history who has been commissioned against his will through his civil service job to see if salmon fishing in the Yemen is possible. The book then follows him and his colleagues through the project and it's misadventures, and how it changes them. McDowell, Adam (19 April 2012).

A good plan in theory, but with 2 major flaws: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday is what you get when you follow the bizarre plot, with twist and turns, and does not listen to any writing advice. Certainly, the National Centre for Fisheries Excellence and the government come of looking realistically silly. He has the proper qualifications to study the feasibility of the undertaking, but he thinks it's too silly to even consider; only when political pressure is put on him does he give in -- eventually devoting himself entirely to it.

I listened to the 2007 Orion production of the audiobook supported by a full cast including Downton Abbey star Samantha Bond (you’ll recognize her voice immediately) along with John Sessions, Andrew Sachs, Andrew Marr and many more. The audiobook is a brilliant success as each character is enunciated by actors with great skills. This audiobook production ranks among the best I have heard in recent years and is well worth seeking out. Not a straight forward storytelling, and no narration bs that I don’t know why I personally dislike.
