This review is from: Beside the Seaside (Hardcover)

un tres bon exemple de ce que la litterature anglaise nous offre en ce moment de l'humour, du cynisme,et un plus une lecture rapide de la classe moyenne anglaise, defauts et qualite en prime, dommage que ce titre soit le seul traduit en francais.
