Sheila's Island

Come with us to the Lake District; it’s November and our heroines are on an Outward Bound team-building course.

They are all middle managers in the exciting world of mineral water, this, they have in common.

But we discover just how different they are when they're suddenly — and literally — out of their depth…Team Captain, Sheila, with her aptitude for cryptic crosswords, manages to strand the foursome on a small island.

Armed with limited food, a single fading mobile and basic survival knowledge, the ladies must endure many ordeals ahead of them, whilst personal tensions and conflicts surface amid the isolation and discomfort.In this rollocking adventure described as Lord Of The Flies meets Miranda we encounter chaos, quarrels and hunger-fuelled tension — all which are treated with warmth and humour by Calendar Girls author Tim Firth.
