A Friend Like Harvey

A Friend Like Harvey

by Lady Teresa Waugh (Author)

Synopsis

What is to be done with a man like Harvey? A man not nearly as good-looking as he thinks he is, yet apparently irresistible to women; a man for whom practically every enterprise is a failure, yet who carries with him an air of success; a fantasist who never runs out of people prepared to believe him or love him. Harvey is, in short, a liar, a fraud and a swine. For decades he cuts a swathe through wives, lovers, friends, relatives, business partners. No one remains untouched by the experience until a spectacular act of selfish cruelty lands Harvey, finally, in real trouble.

Book Overview: Author of several critically acclaimed novels, including THE HOUSE 'One of the most distinctive, abrasive comedians on the literary scene' A N Wilson 'An acid sharp portrait of a loveable cad ... a beautifully controlled, witty and absorbing comedy of manners' Good Housekeeping 'A horribly compelling story ... In a moral climate where charm is the cardinal virtue, there is something quite subversive about Teresa Waugh's implacable portrait of her charming and repulsive anti-hero' Sunday Telegraph 'A beguilingly credible monster ... a small, still and austerely realistic depiction of how we go about failing to remember each other' Spectator
