內容簡介: |
Welcome to Corduroy Mansions in Pimlico: a temple of Arts and
Crafts architecture, with comforting, weathered brickwork and
frankly frivolous dormer windows, it is home to a delightfully
eccentric cast of Londoners. In the top flat lives William, with a
faithful ex-vegetarian dog named Freddie de la Hay and a
freeloading son who he hopes will soon fly the nest. Four lively
young women share the first-floor flat, including
twinset-and-pearls Caroline from Cheltenham, Dee, vitamin addict
and avid subscriber to Anti-oxidant News, and Jenny, a put-upon PA.
And round the corner lives Oedipus Snark MP, possibly the world''s
only loathsome Lib Dem, who has succeeded in offending everyone he
knows, and many others besides. But what dark revenge is being
plotted by his mother, Berthea Snark, and by his girlfriend,
Barbara Ragg...?
