Mostyn Thomas and the Big Rave

When Mostyn, an aging Pembrokeshire farmer on the brink of bankruptcy, runs into Jethro, a young raver, his fortunes appear to take a positive turn. The pair secretly mobilize the locals of the village pub to help put on the greatest money-spinning event in the history of Little Emlyn: Lewistock. The tension ramps up as the clock ticks down to the August bank holiday rave, and young revelers begin to pour in from all corners of the county. But things do not go to plan; moneylenders, drug dealers, the county council, and the bank all set a collision course with Mostyn and Jethro. It’s not clear who will get out alive. This is an electrifying debut thriller which pits a struggling Welsh farming community steeped in centuries of religion and tradition against the unstoppable rave movement of the 1990s. A brilliant evocation of place and people during a pioneering period, capturing voice and character with a journalistic eye for detail.

Cand Mostyn, un fermier in varsta de Pembrokeshire, aflat in pragul falimentului, ajunge la Jethro, un tanar raver, averile sale par sa ia o intorsatura pozitiva. Perechea mobilizeaza in secret localnicii pubului din sat pentru a ajuta la organizarea celui mai mare eveniment de invartire a banilor din istoria Micului Emlyn: Lewistock.
