Synopsis

Jilly Cooper challenges the assumption that England nowadays is a classless society, and sets out to show how snobbery is alive and well and at home in the English mind. She chronicles the social attitudes and lifestyles of Harry Stow-Crat and his peers, Mr and Mrs Nouveau-Richards, and Jen Teale and her husband Bryan, and makes characteristically wry observations on the courtship behaviour, choice of furnishings, appetites and ambitions of the "merry-tocracy", the "telly-stocracy", and many other inhabitants of castle, Victorian terrace and council flat.

Review

"Witheringly funny, illuminated by astonishing brilliance" (Observer)

"Enormously readable and very funny" (Cosmopolitan)

"Highly entertaining, acerbic and wickedly observant... certain to become as much part of the verbal shorthand as was Nancy Mitford's U and Non-U, a generation ago" (The Economist)

From the Publisher

The devastatingly funny exposé of the English class system!
