‘READY STEADY COOK MEETS THE FULL MONTY’ Set around the fate of a small Yorkshire brewery, Paul Carroll’s latest novel Trouble Brewing explores celebrity culture, romance, the art of the white lie and throws in Brexit as a chaser. Brian Parkin, a TV celebrity chef whose star is on the wane, is enlisted as the somewhat unlikely figurehead to help the Yorkshire town of Brimdale save its brewery and famous Brim ‘miracle’ ale. But as the clock ticks down to last orders in this bittersweet tale is Brim and its miraculous powers all it’s cracked up to be? PLEASE READ RESPONSIBLY: Witty, intelligent and humorous, one page will definitely lead to another.
