Suburban respectability conceals restless desires and ambitions
Vintage in Very Good Condition - Covers show rubbing and edge/corner wear. Reprinted 1979.
On a modern executive housing estate, comfortable homes and respectable appearances conceal a lively mixture of anxiety, snobbery, frustration and desire. The couples of Plummers Park are moving towards middle age with ambitions still unfulfilled and temptations that complicate their carefully organised lives. As affairs, neighbourhood relationships and private disappointments disturb the suburban routine, Leslie Thomas finds comedy in the gap between what people claim to want and how they behave. This novel offers an irreverent portrait of a community whose prosperity does little to protect its residents from the confusion and longing of everyday life.
