«Salmon Fishing in the Yemen» is Paul Torday’s novel, published in paperback in 2012.
A fishing expert accepts an assignment bordering on the absurd: to acclimatise salmon in the dry wadis of Yemen. With an ironic tone, the novel pits faith against modern scepticism, interweaving political criticism with a comic and moving story about believing in the extraordinary.
The ISBN corresponds to a 2012 edition; the work is classified as Literature and Fiction.
For readers of contemporary fiction looking for a gentle satire on politics, faith and the improbable.
