Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (Abridged)

Paul Torday
Read by John Sessions, Samantha Bond, Fenella Woolgar

This is the story of a hen-pecked, slightly pompous, middle-aged scientist who finds himself caught up in what seems like an impossible project, and of how this project changes his life. In the process he becomes an unlikely, and rather loveable hero, discovers true love for himself, finds himself both a pawn and then a victim of political spin, leaves his brilliantly horrible wife, and learns to believe in the impossible.
