A wickedly funny take on life under the Thatcher government by the prize-winning author of Bournvlile.
It is the 1980s and the Winshaw family are getting richer and crueller by the year:

But once their hapless biographer Michael Owen starts investigating the family's trail of greed, corruption and immoral doings, the time growing ripe for the Winshaws to receive their comeuppance . . .
