Fifteen years ago, Tommy Hunter committed a terrible crime. Now
pursued by his own bad memories and the attentions of his criminal
companions of the past (as well as the present-day curiosity of the
boys and girls in blue), Tommy is trying to put his family back
together by the unlikely means of kidnapping them with the added
allurement of a bag of stolen money. Moon Country is a wild and
woolly Scottish Western, a family road movie, a slightly insane
hermeneutic treatise on nationhoodand belonging, and a definitely
lunatic quest for personal redemption. It's also pretty funny. It
is quite unlike anything you've ever read before.Peter Arnott has
squared the circle by combining the demotic, the entertaining, the
literary and the chaotic all within a surprisingly ordered
structure. This is a book that stays with you once you've finished
reading it: the many connections continue to emerge.
