A shut-down department store, standing like a liner in a derelict wasteland, captained by a mad old woman, obsessed with nutrition and saving animals, is becalmed at the core of this off-beat, tantalising tale. One-off characters weave in and out of the exotic plot as Bridie struggles to retrieve her disappeared Gramps and do the best by everyone, man or beast. The cover is not too thrilling, but there are some little nuggets within.
