Critics Review

‘The author has seen the world of human misery in a grain of seaside sand and his title is deeply, bleakly ironic … Viciously funny’ Daily Telegraph. * Daily Telegraph *
‘This is not a book about love, but a book about illicit, breathless, self-absorbed couplings and that kind of panic-ridden snobbery so dear to the English middle-class mentality, all described with gusto and distaste’ Literary Review. * Literary Review *
‘Connolly has established himself as a very English comic author, in the tradition of P.G. Wodehouse’ The Times. * The Times *
