<p><b>Sail away with the delightful new novel from Gervase Phinn, bestselling author of <i>The School at the Top of the Dale</i></b><br><br>A summer cruise should be just the ticket for a few weeks of luxury and relaxation - but for the passengers and crew of the <i>Empress of the Ocean, </i>the sights of the Mediterranean are nothing compared to the excitement on board...<br><br>For bickering couple Albert and Maureen, the trip might prove a much-needed escape - or the final straw. Elegant Frances de la Mare is determined to hobnob with the right kind of people - but her penthouse suite proves lonelier than she ever imagined. Meanwhile, precocious twelve-year-old Oliver discovers that guidebooks don't teach you everything, sparks fly when the port lecturer finds himself upstaged by a popular author, dancers Bruce and Babs can't keep in step, and cruise expert Neville just wants <i>someone</i> to speak to.<br><br>But as unlikely friendships are forged, feuds bubble in the laundry room, and everyone jostles for a seat at the Captain's table, they might find all their plans going overboard....<br><br> Warm, funny and uplifting, this is the perfect escapist read for fans of Gervase Phinn's Yorkshire novels, as well as readers of Celia Imrie, Alan Titchmarsh and Maeve Haran.<br><br><b>'[Gervase Phinn is] a worthy successor to James Herriott, and every bit as endearing' - bestselling author Alan Titchmarsh</b></p>
