‘An ordinary man on an extraordinary adventure’ - The Truth is a wonderful, heart-warming novel exploring the issues of media manipulation, private lives and public persona, and the balance of progress against environmental damage. A writer, barely scraping a living from his work, is given the opportunity of a lifetime writing the biography of a high profile idealist and humanitarian – but the more he researches the more he begins to question the Truth.
Michael Palin’s debut novel, Hemmingway’s Chair was a wonderful book but it was published in 1997 so his second The Truth has been a long time coming – but was worth the wait.
Keith Mabbut is at a crossroads in his life. When he is offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to write the biography of the elusive Hamish Melville, a highly influential activist and humanitarian - he seizes the chance to write something meaningful. His search to find out the real story behind the legend takes Mabbut to Orissa and the environmental hotspots of India.
