GOING UNDER

Book ID/图书代码： 00200007B12166

English Summary/英文概要： The future looks bleak for Aidan Walsh. He stands to lose his job as the last major employer in a dead-end Welsh town prepares to close its factory and relocate to India. Then Aidan hatches a startling plan. He buries himself alive in a coffin in his back garden, announcing that he’s not coming back up until everyone’s job is saved. Publicity is everything these days, and Aidan knows he must attract the attention of the media if he is to have a chance. Slowly, people warm to his cause, locally at first, and then from further afield, as news of his remarkable protest travels. And so begins a titanic battle of wills between an unlikely hero and a powerful corporation. "Going Under" explores the ties of love, friendship, family and community in a story full of humour, human frailty, resourcefulness and - ultimately - triumph.
