Description

Denham Dobie's life has been one of quiet seclusion. When her father passes away, she is thrust into a world of high society in London by her sophisticated relatives. Her candid responses to the conventions of polite behaviour offer a biting commentary on the social norms of her new surroundings. This witty satire, elegantly written and full of humour, provides a moving story as well as a scathing critique of the upper echelons of society. The reactions of Denham to the manners and modes of those around her are both devastatingly funny and thought-provoking. A comedy of manners that remains absorbing and entertaining today, Crewe Train is a biting and insightful exploration of social class and identity.
