Denham Dobie has been brought up in Andorra by her father, a
retired clergyman. On his death, she is snatched from this
reclusive life and thrown into the social whirl of London by her
sophisticated relatives. Denham, however, provides a candid
response to the niceties of 'civilised' behaviour. CREWE TRAIN is
one of Macaulay's wittiest satires. The reactions of Denham to the
manners and modes of the highbrow circle in which she finds herself
provide a devastating - and very funny - social commentary as well
as a moving story. This bitingly funny, elegantly written comedy of
manners is as absorbing and entertaining today as on the book's
first publication in 1967.
