Synopsis

These novels follow the fortunes of a petty swindler (based on a real Neville HEath) as he preys on a succession of women, flattering his way into their affections and parting them from their money. The plots are skilfully constructed and developed, characters' psychologies are deftly exposed and these novels are shot through with a sense of brooding menace and terrible inevitability that are entirely the author's own. Keith Waterhouse has called Hamilton a riveting dissector of English life', and Doris Lessing 'a marvellous novelist'.'

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A satirical picture of a small group of Reading residents and a study of the British class system and snobbery. Hamilton's world is peopled with sad, brooding characters trailing on the edge of society, leading bleak, loveless lives. The author also wrote Hangover Square.
