Back Cover
In Plummers Park, a new executive housing estate in a London suburb, it's the old-fashioned values which count. Values such as adultery, snobbery, deceit... Tropic of Ruislip is a hilariously accurate account of the fears, frustrations and dreams of well-heeled young couples as they uneasily approach respectability and middle age. Extremely funny...for sheer pace, invention, gusto and accuracy, Leslie Thomas takes some beating' Sunday Times 'A bawdy romp through the sex-life of a London suburb' Daily Telegraph
