Description
Talk to the Hand: A Call for Civilised Behaviour In an era where rudeness seems to be celebrated, Lynne Truss argues that it's time to stand up for courtesy. With her characteristic wit and spirit, she challenges the boorish behaviour that has become a point of pride for some. Truss explores the many ways in which we are treated with disrespect, from the builder who treats us like dirt in our own homes to the utility company staff who seem immune to apology. She asks why this is so, and what it will take to roll back a culture that applauds rudeness. A spirited conversation, not a stuffy guidebook, Talk to the Hand is a rallying cry for those who value good manners and decent treatment. For anyone fed up with the brutality of modern manners, Truss's colourful call to arms is a welcome respite.
