When Uncle Kevin (Please, just call me Kevie!) arrives out of the blue to visit his nephew and his wife Anne, he brings with him both disruption and fun. Kevie is a wonderful storyteller with a travelling spirit and a rich history. In this semi-biographical novel, Lord Christopher traces the history of his happy-go-lucky Uncle Kevin and delineates it against the backdrop of the history and zeitgeist of Australia at the time. Kevie has an interesting approach to and philosophy about life, and so far it has served him well. But life can be sad and difficult, which occurrences are sensitively and faithfully documented by his nephew, the author.
