VINTAGE VOYAGES: A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the
depths of the mind Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, meets his
septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in over fifty years at what
he supposes to be his mother's funeral. Soon after, she persuades Henry to
abandon Southwood, to travel to Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay, and a
shiftless, twilight society of hippies, war criminals, CIA men that will
help Henry come alive after a dull suburban life.
