Description

Dickie Pentecost's life is in disarray. His job as a diplomatic correspondent has been made redundant, and his family - including his wife Jane and daughters Flo and Lucy - are struggling to cope with the changes. When they become embroiled in the world of Ethelbert, the enigmatic founder of Making Nice, a soaring public relations agency, their lives become even more complicated.

This sharp satire follows the hapless Pentecost family as they navigate the back rooms of Westminster and the campaign trails of Africa and America. With its echoes of Evelyn Waugh and The Thick of It, Making Nice is a masterful take on the madness of contemporary society and the human capacity for self-deception.
