Synopsis:
Martin Hawkins, a brilliant young historian, turns his back on his academic career and returns home to the family sheep farm. It is here that Missy, a sheep that has been "improved" with the introduction of human genes, begins to make a significant impact on his imagination.

Criticism:
'Wonderfull... Brilliantly done... Gloriously comic... I cannot remember when I last so enjoyed or admired a novel.'
Claudia Fitzherbert, Literary Review

Cover: variant of the one shown for this ISBN, only sheep with some grass on a blue-sky background.

Freed from YAEB - Yet Another English Bookbox - today. TBR.

I couldn't resist taking this from the YAEB when I saw that it still bore the stickers from Hodges Figgis, my main book-provider during my semester in Dublin.

But judging from the cover blurb, I would have expected something funnier. I guess this makes it an OK book...
