Tucker's Deadline - A True Story (Special Order ALLOW 5-7 Days) - Binckes, Robin

This is the true story of Irving Tucker, who married an English girl, Yvonne, and left South Africa in 1976 to farm sheep on the Welsh border, growing their own organic vegetables and living a healthy life style. They returned to South Africa every year on holiday. The couple was childless. The book deals with Irvings complex personality and his love of practical jokes, and traces the relationship between him and the writer over the period 19612011. The death of Yvonne in 2010 is the primary reason why Irving announces to his friends that he is going to kill himself; this despite the fact that he is healthy, relatively young and has recently sold a piece of art for over 1 million.
