I just finished reading Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday. I started reading it the day I began the Project of Doom last week, and every night I had to force myself not to read it until the project was done (eyestrain was a very real concern).
This is a wonderful book. It’s the first book by Paul Torday, and it combines satire and romance and hope and belief . . . and fishing.
A sheikh approaches Britain’s National Centre for Fisheries Excellence to help him achieve his fondest dream: introducing salmon, and salmon fishing, to the Yemen. A ridiculous scheme, yes, but impossible? Perhaps not.
Talk to me!
