Dotty isn't getting any at all. And Norman's getting it at work - from the girl under his desk. What they need is a holiday to let off a bit of steam. And steam is just what they get. As couples of varied ages, class and income set up their deckchairs on the beach, the scene is set for a few crossed wires, a wave of embarrassment and a lot of sand between the sheets. Sun, sea, sex, squabbling: Joseph Connolly's bestselling novel goes straight to the secret heart of that sticky farce of lust and snobbery: the British seaside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph Connolly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57418916266309,"sku":"9781782066989","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9781782066989.jpg?v=1773833096","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9781782066989","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
