Terry Ravenscroft's Novel 'Jerry's' Chronicles Village Rivalry Reaching Absurd Extremes.
(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Jerry's is the tale of how a village builds an elaborate public lavatories in the shape of a replica of the Taj Mahal, and the hilarious events that ensue. Written by veteran humorist Terry Ravenscroft, the book delivers an entertaining, and delightfully non-PC read about small-town rivalry taken to extremes.
Village's Desperate Attempt to Bring in Visitors
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 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.
