Albert has a degree in philosophy and with a job as bridge painter has a new perspective on life up high. Through CPSs and programmed efficiency, he replaces four painters and the bridge is all his. He has a wife, a child, and all seems well in the world. But his distant perspective soon begins to alter his view of life on the ground…

Newly divorced Laura drags her recently widowed mum, Ruth, to a dreary holiday “chalet” for what’s meant to be a relaxing and restorative mother-daughter holiday. But as the rain pours and the gin flows, Ruth lets loose a litany of "truth-bombs" that blow Laura’s world to smithereens. Family secrets and shocking revelations derail this hilariously disastrous getaway - because it’s not just the weather that’s about to break. Written by David Tristram, acclaimed author of The Extraordinary Revelations of Orca the Goldfish and the Little Grimley series.
