Riassunto

In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them&#8212;each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. 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. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, <i>The Silence of the Shaggy Rug</i> is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

Informazioni sull'autore

Born in Nottingham, <b>Daniel Jacob</b> went from van-boy to a senior manager with a Dutch multinational. The UK, Africa, South America, and Europe have been home, and he has visited every continent, except Antarctica. Life experiences include canoeing on the Amazon, having &#8216;tea&#8217; with Borneo head-hunters, walking in Death Valley, and reviewing his sales forecast with an African Witchdoctor. His one-act plays, a farce and a drama, blind judged by a NODA panel, were awarded 1st and 3rd prize in successive years. This inspired Daniel to write <i>The Silence of the Shaggy Rug.</i>
