This book is a sequel to a previous book featuring the downfall of Trent Argent, and focuses on how he repositions himself in life.
Set in the city of Geneva, this is a tale of four friends united by lack of money. Their home is a makeshift campsite under the Pont Butin Bridge. When Trent Argent’s shady business career in the UK hit’s rock bottom, he decides he wants to venture down a new pathway and travels to Geneva to seek employment with non-profit organisations. Jobless when he arrives, he is forced to sleep rough under the Pont Butin Bridge where he meets Hobbs and Bong, both interns with the International Refugee Agency, and also Amara who is a reporter. Trent is accepted into their community, and bases himself with them while he seeks employment. Although poor, the group of friends make the most of what they have and are happy in their existence together. However, circumstances lead to the disbanding of the group and eventually only Hobbs remains. We learn of the challenges he faces, and how the other group members return to save and support him. This book is a sequel to a previous book featuring the downfall of Trent Argent, and focuses on how he repositions himself in life. Based on the principle of philanthropy, it is a story of how loyalty and friendship can overcome difficulties, and demonstrates that by helping others, it is also possible for an individual to help themselves. I found myself thinking about each of the main characters long after I’d finished reading this book.
