«Sombre dimanche» is the fiction novel by British author Beryl Bainbridge, published by Flammarion in paperback (264 pages, in French).
Freda and Brenda work in a wine-bottling factory run by Italians. A staff outing presents itself as a day of freedom: for Freda, a promise; for Brenda, a terrifying experience. That day passions run wild and both their lives are never the same again.
