A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'A work of immense intelligence, informative, disturbing and diverting' Observer

When Vic Wilcox (MD of Pringle's engineering works) meets English lecturer Dr Robyn Penrose, sparks fly as their lifestyles and ideologies collide head on. What, after all, are they supposed to learn from each other? But in time both parties make some surprising discoveries about each other's worlds - and about themselves.

'As a comedy of society and class misunderstandings, Lodge has never observed more sharply... A very nice work indeed' The Times

'Rich in reserves of humour and irony...the book is a delight' Mail on Sunday
