“Henry Sutton has always had a knack for squeezing the national zeitgeist into tight little narratives . . . this is a work of fiction that is dirty, scathing and hilarious.”—Geoff Dyer
Zara wants to do it in the Med, Alicia wants a Brazilian to please Mikey, Sally prefers the garden hose to Brian, and Catherine can only find satisfaction on the tennis court. The novel follows one extended family’s fortunes and misfortunes over the course of a long hot summer and reports back on the state of bling Britain—not a pretty sight.
