Mr Lynch's Holiday

'I'm looking forward to seeing you and Laura and getting my first taste of " abroad " .' Eamonn Lynch stares at the letter announcing the arrival of his father, Dermot, and tries to think of an excuse to put him off. But Dermot is here, and soon discovers that Eamonn lives on a Spanish building site; that Laura's left; that it's just the two of them for two long, hot weeks. Amongst the British expats' barbecuing and bickering, they discover the truth about each other and the family past and uncover a shocking secret at the heart of this beleaguered community.
