Title: Excess Baggage: a brilliant, laugh-out-loud gem of a novel about family… and all that entails
Author: Judy Astley
Narrator: Laura Bratten
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 9 hours 0 minutes
Release date: December 23, 2010
Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody
Publisher's Summary:
A Proper Family Holiday was the last thing Lucy was expecting to have. But as a penniless and partnerless house-painter with an expired lease on her flat and a twelve-year-old daughter, she could hardly turn down her parents' offer to take them on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Caribbean. She'd just have to put up with her sister Theresa (making no secret of preferring Tuscany as a holiday destination) and brother Simon (worrying that there might be some sinister agenda behind their parents' wish to take them all away) with their various spouses, teenagers, young children and au pair. In a luxury hotel, with bright sunshine, swimming, diving, glorious food and friendly locals, any family tensions should have melted away in the fabulous heat. The children should have been angelic, the teenagers cheerful, the adults relaxed and happy. But...some problems just refuse to be left at home.
