Description
A retired widower has his quiet life turned upside down when he mysteriously comes into a large windfall
Julius Hutch has planned to spend his retirement years 'pottering' and worrying about his bills, but wakes one morning to discover a foreign merchant bank has put four million pounds into his account - and won't take it back. So Julius, a humble man, sets out to spend the money helping other people, and wooing Pauline, the local bank teller. Up against an enormous banking corporation and an unsavoury property developer, Julius soon discovers that rather than being crushed by these financial giants as he would have been in the past, he is rendered rather more delightfully impervious by his new-found wealth.
A wonderful comedy about family, late-in-life romance, environmentalism, and justice against faceless conglomerates, Capital Gains is written in letters, speeches and emails between friends, lovers, and enemies. Perhaps the little man may just triumph at last...
