The story revolves around the West Yorkshire village of Throgley, a village that in the past has been completely ignored by visitors to other nearby villages. In an effort to alter this the Throgley village council opt for an unconventional way of attracting visitors when, thanks to a large bequest from a local multi-millionaire, they construct a public toilet in his name.Things take a hilarious turn when the council employ impressive-looking former army officer, ex-Regimental Sergeant Major Horn, as the toilet’s commissionaire. A big mistake: his meddlesome ways immediately giving birth to a surfeit of comical moments – and what begins as a success story quickly turns into outright disaster when Horn’s military strictness clashes with the realities of managing a public convenience.
𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲-𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿:
Since its publication in 2020, readers have appreciated Jerry’s well-thought-out plot. The book is compelling with many laugh-out-loud moments, the authors’s trademark witty one-liners on every page. The realistic characters are so well-drawn that readers feel they know them personally.
Jerry’s balances its sense of humour with clever structure, making it a classic Ravenscroft work – sharp, irreverent, and impossible to put down.
