A Perfectly Good Man - Signed Copy

A Perfectly Good Man, a novel by Patrick Gale

Gale joined us on stage for our inaugural Heligan Homecoming Festival; a celebration of music, literature, art, culture and food set in the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan. This signed copy is exclusively online.

On a clear, crisp summer's day in Cornwall, a young man carefully prepares to take his own life, and asks family friend, Barnaby Johnson, to pray with him. Barnaby - priest, husband and father- has always tried to do good, though life hasn't always been rosy. Lenny's request poses problems, not just for Barnaby, but for his wife and family, and the wider community, as the secrets of the past push themselves forcefully into the present for all to see.
