The Bottle Factory Outing

Freda and Brenda spend their days working in an Italian-run wine-bottling factory. A work outing offers promise for Freda and terror from Brenda; passions run high on that chilly day of freedom and life after the outing never returns to normal. Inspired by author Beryl Bainbridge?s own experiences working at a London wine-factory in the 1970s The Bottle Factory Outing examines issues of friendship and consent making the novel timelier than ever.
