"This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of [a] missing package. And yet it's also the story of a middle-aged dentist who dreams of being a respected artist--but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a tortured imam involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an octogenarian mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a troubled teenager whose nudes have leaked on the Internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious ex-boyfriend, and his class-traitor mother and her childhood boyfriend, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past"-- Provided by publisher.
