Categories: Fiction, Released Soon. Product ID: 8193


“Chalk and Cheese is a work of brilliantly cinematic quality.”
–Nigel Marsh, Smart, Stupid & Sixty

Ross Fitzgerald and Ian McFadyen’s powerful new fiction, Chalk and Cheese, is a tale of two 80-year-old former radio stars, Bill and Ben, who hate each other, but who end up in the same nursing home.
Even though Chalk & Cheese can be seen as a wry comedy using clear-eyed satire, it is also a compelling story which challenges our views on life in nursing homes and how the elderly are treated.
