"Prentice McHoan has returned to the bosom of his complex but enduring Scottish family. Relations with his father are strained, his brother is funnier and better looking, and the woman of his dreams is out of his reach. Full of questions about the McHoan past, present and future, he is also deeply preoccupied: mainly with death, sex, drink, God and illegal substances. But his greatest preoccupation is with Uncle Rory, professional traveller and some-time magician, whose most successful act had been his own disappearance."@en
