But is their breeding sufficient to allow them to rise above their changed circumstance or deep down are they really just like everyone else?____________'No other author could imagine this so graphically, demolish the institution so wittily and yet leave the family with its human dignity intact' The Times'Absorbing, entertaining . . . the funniest thing in print since Adrian Mole' Daily Telegraph'Kept me rolling about until the last page' Daily Mail
