An Egyptian, living and working in the UK is asked by a friend in Cairo to arrange the funeral of someone he has never met and does not know. He reluctantly agrees and the thread of this story takes us through the book as we learn about our hero's life working in local government in London, dealing with a failing system. The book is very funny in places and very sad and moving in others. It was up there with the best from this year so far and am sure it will still be come the end of the year 9/10
