Dorek has no sense of achievement in life and is perceived as a 'Walter Mitty' character. As a boy, he was obsessed with a girl who lived opposite him and he finds it difficult to relate to other people. This is a result of his deafness and his uncertain sexuality, so he relies heavily on his best friend Mungo. After his mother's death he uncovers a family secret. Then his monetary fortunes unexpectedly change and he decides to travel to Australia and New Zealand. Through learning more about his family history and the connections he uncovers, Dorek eventually finds an inner peace.Dorek is the last title in a trilogy. The other titles are Clarisse and Zaira.
