Who is the Roundabout Man?
He
doesn't look like a tramp, yet he lives on a roundabout in a caravan
and survives on the leftovers from a nearby motorway service station. He
calls himself Quinn, the name of a boy in a world-famous series of
children's books, but he's nearer retirement than childhood.
What he hopes no one will discover is that he's the real Quinn,
immortalised as a child by his mother in her entrancing tales about a
little boy's adventures with his triplet sisters. It is this inheritance
he has successfully run away from - until now. When Quinn's reclusive existence is invaded, he has to turn and face his past, and all the uncomfortable truths it contains about himself, his sisters and, most of all, his mother.
