This wonderful novel showing Beryl Bainbridge at her darkly comic best - out for the first time as an Abacus paperback.

A work outing offers promise for Freda and terror from Brenda; passions run high on that chilly day of freedom, and life after the outing never returns to normal. Beryl Bainbridge will dazzle readers in this offbeat, haunting yet hilarious novel.
