Book description
Why does Simeon Simcox, the CND-marching Rector of Rapstone Fanner, leave his fortune not to his two sons but to an odious Tory Minister? This novel is a portrait of English life from 1945 to the present.
Very charming read. Mortimer’s gentle lampoon on England and many of his classic characters (country doctor, Parish Rector, new Tory, landed gentry) is a brilliant satire and a hilarious read. Combined with a nice plot and great characters it is a very nice read indeed. Character are instantly recognizable.
