In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature,
award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them
- each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone
from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for
grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean,
mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and
pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely
unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is
the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively
honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English
family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich.
Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the
Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.
