Description

Connolly lampoons cruise-liner capers in this exuberant comedy.The luxury cruise ship Transylvania takes six days to cross the Atlantic – just enough time for the passengers to find their sea-legs and lose their heads. Whether it s husbands pining for their mistresses back on shore, stewards with a raging cabin fever or mothers sweating to outshine their daughters, they transform the Transylvania into a floating purgatory of Pacific proportions. S.O.S. is Joseph Connolly s brilliant boat-bound comedy, a novel of holiday-makers and holiday-haters running aground on each other s lives and loves. Getting away from it all is hopeless – and hilarious – when you ve brought it all on board with you.
