Darkly comic freedom in an elderly care home

Very Good Condition - Minor wear to the jacket edges with a small mark on the back panel. Pages are clean and tidy.

Life at Hill Topp House has its own routines, hierarchies and eccentric personalities. Under the watchful eye of Mrs McBryde, the residents include a former cruise-ship hairdresser, an enterprising woman with plans of her own and an archaeologist whose discoveries may owe more to imagination than evidence. The arrival of Covid brings loss and confusion, but it also disrupts the rules that govern the home. As staff fall ill and familiar systems break down, the surviving residents find an unexpected opportunity to act for themselves. Alan Bennett brings his sharp ear for conversation and understated humour to a darkly comic story about age, community, hidden lives and a late taste of liberation.
