Media Reviews
A funny, intelligent and superbly placed social comedy * The New York Times *
A work of immense intelligence, informative, disturbing and diverting * Observer *
As a comedy of society and class misunderstandings, Lodge has never observed more sharply... A very nice work indeed * The Times *
Rich in reserves of humour and irony...the book is a delight * Mail on Sunday *
