| Synopsis: |
A comedy drama with genuine pathos, set in the murky backdrop of Canvey Island, London, Poncey Bridge and Marbella: Are you ready for Gretyl Trollop? Some say she is loud, hairy and obnoxious. Others are less complimentary. Witness the antics of this 'old timer' Gretyl Trollop, her long-suffering husband, Albert, the Soddall family who have 'sod all' and other great characters in this hilarious comedy novel. Married for over fifty years, it's all trouble and strife for the Trollops. They live in a high-rise tower block in London's East End, where there isn't enough room to swing a cat. Gretyl is glued to the TV shopping channels and addicted to car boot sales. Albert finds respite in his allotment and the local bookmakers.They carry on with their separate lives until a mysterious letter threatens to change everything and turn Albert's world upside down.Add to the chaotic mix a removal van, a hitman, a holiday scam and a murderous plan, and you will discover the hilarious and touching world that is, Missing Gretyl. Has Gretyl Trollop finally met her match as she takes on Neil Rochester and his cronies in Poncey Bridge? Can Gretyl play the fraudsters at their own game?Will she survive the murderous attempts of Arti Chokes? Does Albert end up missing Gretyl? Missing Gretyl is a throwback to the golden heyday of British Comedy before the end of the millennium. Slapstick in nature with larger than life characters, get ready for some serious shock and laughter as you delve into the murky world of car boot sales, holiday scams, female 'eye candy' and a hit man. The essence of Missing Gretyl is very British in flavour and inspired by wonderful TV characters like Hyacinth Bucket, Del Trotter, Victor Meldrew and Basil Fawlty. Missing Gretyl is also available as a Kindle eBook through Amazon. You can find out more about the author, Si Page via www.missinggretyl.com. |
