520    "This is the true story of Irving Tucker, who married an 
       English girl, Yvonne, and left South Africa in 1976 to 
       farm sheep on the Welsh border, growing their own organic 
       vegetables and living a healthy life style. They returned 
       to South Africa every year on holiday. The couple was 
       childless. The book deals with Irving\2019s complex 
       personality and his love of practical jokes, and traces 
       the relationship between him and the writer over the 
       period 1961-2011. The death of Yvonne in 2010 is the 
       primary reason why Irving announces to his friends that he
       is going to kill himself; this despite the fact that he is
       healthy, relatively young and has recently sold a piece of
       art for over Đ1 million. For two years following Yvonne's 
       death, his friends attempt to dissuade him from committing
       suicide, never sure whether it is a cry for help, an 
       attempt to get attention, another practical joke or a 
       serious threat. He sponsors an elephant-collaring in the 
       bush and invites a group of friends to join him for this 
       last African adventure. Around the campfire at night, he 
       and his friends openly discuss his plans. The polarized 
       reactions of Tucker's confidants range from vehement 
       denial to vehement support, as he advises them that his 
       suicide date is rapidly approaching. In January 2011 he 
       returns home to England, his deadline the end of February.
       Irving Tucker is a complex character with great attributes
       and glaring faults. This is a story of love, friendship 
       and caring, of laughter, fun, sadness and tragedy. It is 
       the story of a man determined to leave this world at a 
       time of his choosing."--Back cover
