Jacko. One Bloke. One Year.

Jackson Fearnsby’s fiftieth year began badly, ended better, and was in between punctuated by a series of seasonal events and anniversaries shared with his friends and family. Set in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1950, this story follows the life of an ordinary man in an ordinary job living an ordinary life with his ordinary family in an ordinary city — then no more than a large town — while struggling with the doubts and anxieties which came with middle-age to an already troubled mind.
