Join us for the launch of Chalk and Cheese: A Fabrication
 by Ross Fitzgerald and Ian McFadyen.
ABOUT THE BOOK
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.
This revealing novel explores elder issues and shows how (with the aid of their grandchildren), Bill and Ben join together to protect and enhance the lives and circumstances of the elderly.
