HOW MUCH SHOULD ONE PERSON GIVE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE? AND HOW MUCH CAN ONE FAMILY TAKE?
When Arthur Candlewick falls down a disused mineshaft with only his son's drug stash, a book on the concept of ';effective altruism' and a bottle of medium-priced Bordeaux for company, his life takes an unexpected turn. Determined to sell up the family timber business and devote his remaining time on earth to giving away his wealth in a way which does most good to humanity, his decision will leave a lasting legacy to the world but have unintended and unforeseen consequences for those he loves the most.
