The deliciously sharp new novel from Ferdinand Mount, author of the
Sunday Times Book of the Year Kiss Myself Goodbye Ferdinand Mount's
stinging satire plunges into the dubious world of London PR firms,
the back rooms of Westminster and the campaign trail in Africa and
America. We follow the hapless Dickie Pentecost, redundant
diplomatic correspondent for a foundering national newspaper,
together with his stern oncologist wife Jane, and their daughters
Flo, an aspiring ballerina, and the quizzical teenager Lucy. The
whole family find themselves entangled in an ever more alarming
series of events revolving around the elusive Ethel (full name
Ethelbert), dynamic founder of the soaring public relations agency
Making Nice. With echoes of Evelyn Waugh and The Thick of It,
Making Nice is a masterly take on the madness of contemporary
society and the limitless human capacity for self-deception.
