THE SHORTEST DAY: A Feel-Good Comedy Novel (Above the Chip Shop)

By Mr Ashley Gary Johnson

The darkest day is the one where the light turns back.

They fought a giant for the county they loved, and they lost. The office is gone, the money is gone, the fleet has scattered, and Sol Proprietor has quietly bet his own house on a company that has just hit the bottom. It is the shortest, darkest day of the year in the most easterly town in Britain.

And the shortest day, if you have ever watched one, is not the day the dark wins. It is the exact day the light turns round and begins, minute by minute, to come back. A warm, funny, big-hearted novel about losing everything that doesn't matter, keeping everything that does, and the long climb home.
