Book description
A Vicious Circle exposes the corruption of London's journalistic
circuit, the horrors of our hospitals and slums, and the
transformations caused by motherhood. Gripping, tender and fiercely
funny, it has been instantly recognised as a modern classic about the
way we live now.
'A love story and political comment, a defence of the art of
fiction, a masterpiece . . . The greatest novelist under the age of
fifty has now stepped onto the stage' A. N. Wilson, Evening Standard
'It's like Dickens without the long-winded bits. It makes you laugh,
it makes you blub . . . an excellent and entertaining read' Val
Hennessey, Daily Mail
