Description
A wry and macabre tale of simple country living, brutal murder, and a reasonably happy couple, "The Girls" by John Bowen, is a story of domestic bliss turned deadly. In their picturesque village, Janet and Susan, known to all as "the girls", lead an enviable life as partners in love and work, co-proprietors of a charming shop showcasing local artisans and farmers. When Sue returns from a solo trip, Jan is left to run the stall at the Inland Waterways Rally Craft Fair, but a kindly gay man named Alan lends a hand, and the two share a night together. The arrival of a baby boy soon after Sue's return brings unexpected joy, but also raises the stakes for the girls' future.
