A wickedly funny take on life under the Thatcher government by the
prize-winning author of Middle England. It is the 1980s and the
Winshaw family are getting richer and crueller by the year:
Newspaper-columnist Hilary gets thousands for telling it like it
isn't. Henry's turning hospitals into car parks. Roddy's selling
art in return for sex. Down on the farm Dorothy's squeezing every
last pound from her livestock. Thomas is making a killing on the
stock exchange; and Mark is selling arms to dictators. But once
their hapless biographer Michael Owen starts investigating the
family's trail of greed, corruption and immoral doings, the time
growing ripe for the Winshaws to receive their comeuppance . . .
__________ 'A sustained feat of humour, suspense and polemic, full
of twists and ironies' Hilary Mantel, Sunday Times 'A riveting
social satire on the chattering and all-powerful upper classes'
Time Out 'Big, hilarious, intricate, furious, moving' Guardian
Written with his signature wit, Jonathan Coe's unmissable new
novel, Bournville, is available to pre-order now!
