Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and named 'one of the greatest
novels of all time' by the Observer, this riveting novel shows
Beryl Bainbridge at her darkly comic best Freda and Brenda are
friends spending their days in an Italian-run wine-bottling factory
in North London. When a works outing materialises it offers promise
for Freda, but terror for Brenda. Unexpected passions run high on
the chilly day of liberty and their lives are never the same again.
Beryl Bainbridge dazzles readers in this offbeat, haunting yet
hilarious novel. 'An outrageously funny and horrifying novel'
Graham Greene 'Superb... taut in construction, expansive in
characterisation, vibrant in atmosphere and profoundly comic' The
Times 'The masterful restraint of Beryl Bainbridge's sentences
reveals an author in complete control of her artistry' Guardian
'Two very complex, funny female characters. They need each other
although they would never admit it' Maxine Peake
