ericwelch's review against another edition
5.0
I listened to the audio version of this book masterfully read by Bill Wallis. It's one of the finest (and funniest) political and social satires I have read (listened to) in a long time. You will laugh out loud as Edwards makes fun of political correctness, conferences, movements, religion, politics, just about everything.
A reviewer on Amazon took great offense at the fun Edwards makes of the assorted participants assuming Edwards was biased and bigoted toward the Catholic Church and the Irish nationalists, missing the sarcasm she had for all the participants. Lady Troutbeck, herself, is a bigoted caricature. I recognized several stereotypes from conferences I've attended. Great fun.
This is a marvelous book.
