Description

The Winshaw family's fortunes are built on a foundation of greed, corruption, and moral compromise. In the 1980s, they are thriving under the Thatcher government, with each member exploiting their position for personal gain. However, when their hapless biographer Michael Owen starts investigating their activities, the time for reckoning is drawing near. As Owen digs deeper, the Winshaws' web of deceit and corruption begins to unravel, threatening to expose their darkest secrets. But will they be brought to justice, or will they manage to maintain their grip on power? Jonathan Coe's witty and incisive novel is a scathing satire of the upper classes and the social and economic upheaval of the time.
