From the Inside Flap
The manager of a tiny branch of the Anglican-Victoria bank, Alan Groombridge, is doomed to a life of domestic boredom and tedious routine, husband to a woman he doesn?t like, the father of two children he never wanted. But Alan has a fantasy: to rob the bank of enough money for one year of freedom.
