Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

This ebook… (‘The eighteen letters’)… was a consequence of several facts which were not planned. They happened (a kind of) accidentally. A few years ago, I decided to publish a collection of 18 letters which I wrote to my sons, telling stories of my life. The text began to ‘navigate’ through some websites where the English language was used.
