Loose Connections - Softcover
When Sally advertises for a travelling companion to help drive her jeep to a women's convention in Munich she is looking for a non-smoking, vegetarian feminist. Harry, the working-class Liverpudlian ex-car worker who is her only respondent, hardly fits the bill. But overcoming her serious misgivings Sally takes him on board. On a trip across Europe anything could go wrong - and everything does. In the process, Sally finds that her well- articulated ideological stance doesn't allow for things like tenderness, silliness and fun. And while she muses on the principles of feminism, Harry wonders if True Love can conquer all and if he'll make Munich before Sally discovers the real purpose of his trip. 'A bright, fast-moving comedy' Sunday Telegraph 'Keeps us guessing and amused till the end' Financial Times 'A very endearing first novel' Observer 'With a lot of zest the action nips in and out of Kingsley Amis and Tom Sharpe territory, but shows a lot more heart than either' Mail on Sunday. THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE HIGHLY-ACCLAIMED FILM Also by Maggie Brooks in Abacus: HEAVENLY DECEPTION.
