The Silence of the Shaggy Rug Jacob Daniel
In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them--each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious, and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth.
Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich.
