It's 2007, and with guidebook in hand, retired librarians Alison and Adrian are excitedly embarking on their long-awaited (and carefully saved for) Italian trip of a lifetime. But when their best friends pull out at the last minute, they find themselves sharing their precious holiday with their neighbours - Harry, a wealthy plumber and his new wife, Judy.

Blending cracker one-liners with lots of laughs and astute observation, Four Flat Whites in Italy is classic Roger Hall, as he again deftly satirises our manners, morals, loves and lusts in this highly entertaining treat.
