Emily's Hampstead Heath Walking Book Club April - The Bottle Factory Outing

This darkly comic novel by beloved ‘Booker Bridesmaid’ Beryl Bainbridge follows the misadventures of romantic, domineering Freda and shy, nervous Brenda in 1970s London. From the sharply portrayed social tensions in the wine-bottling factory where they work, to the surreal tragedy that develops when Freda organises an excursion, Graham Greene did well to describe the novel as: ‘outrageously funny and horrifying’.
