Mr. Scobie's Riddle

More about the book

Set in a nursing home, Mr. Scobie battles the oppressive Matron Price while striving to maintain his dignity and dreams. Through music and poetry, he seeks solace, but it is a simple riddle that holds the potential to transform the institution. The narrative explores themes of resistance and the quest for personal dignity amidst dehumanizing circumstances, drawing comparisons to the sharp satire of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
