A man floats off on a Bouncy Castle on a local hospital appeal Fun
Day. He loses consciousness as he feels himself getting nearer to
the sun and 'wakes up' in the arms of the beautiful and plump
Sylvia Arrow, and exacrobat harbouring a stolen elephant. Roy's
wife Sheila, devastated by his disappearance, becomes convinced
that he's been abducted by aliens. Meanwhile in London an
environmentalist called Jeremy, who wears a dress and smells of
Nivea (and who turns out to be Sylvia's brother), is being followed
by journalist Jane Memory, who is determined to get a better job
and to bring his campaign to the attention of the world. All the
characters in the book are connected to each other but it's only in
the last scene that they come together in a field, where Roy is
poised to walk Sylvia's tightrope, because he thinks he's dead
anyway.
