About this title

Synopsis

By the author of "The Virgin Soldiers" and "Orders for New York", this is a saga of life on a modern executive housing estate, seething with the fears, snobberies, frustrations and lusts of well-heeled young marriage trundling uneasily towards middle age.

From the Back Cover

In Plummers Park, a new executive housing estate in a London suburb, it's the old-fashioned values which count. Values such as adultery, snobbery, deceit...

Tropic of Ruislip is a hilariously accurate account of the fears, frustrations and dreams of well-heeled young couples as they uneasily approach respectability and middle age.

Extremely funny...for sheer pace, invention, gusto and accuracy, Leslie Thomas takes some beating' Sunday Times
