About this listen

 When philandering Sir Giles Lynchwood decides it's time to wriggle free of his monumentally unattractive wife, Lady Maud, he knows divorce is out of the question. He can't leave her and keep her cash; a reversionary clause on her ancestral home, Handyman Hall, has taken care of that. Lady Maud, for her own special reasons, is also dying to see the back of Sir Giles. Sir Giles dreams of motorways ploughing through the front door of Handyman Hall, of compulsory purchase orders, of loot and no wife. Lady Maud bellows. Blott the gardener watches from his inner sanctum, the greenhouse, and listens...and waits.©1985 Tom Sharpe (P)2014 Audible, Inc. Literature & Fiction Funny Witty Feel-Good Marriage

Good read

Easy reading and a fun, amusing story. Made me laugh out loud at the dry sense of humour.

Beyond outstanding.

Admittedly it started slowly, not as funny as I remembered Tom Sharpe, but that soon changed, a very funny book. But the best part? Definitely the performance, and it was a performance, by David Suchet. The accents, from upper middle class to working class, were sublime. And his 'drunk' accent, well I'm not convinced he didn't actually get drunk to do it as it was that good! Can't recommend enough.

Made me laugh

A wonderful tale that made me chuckle. Tom Sharp has a great sense of humour in his writing and it's not lost on this book.
