stanje: dobro

A hilariously deranged trip to the further shores of lust, snobbery and adultery, Summer Things is the new comedy by one of Britain`s funniest novelists. Compared to the likes of Kingsley Amis and Tom Sharpe, Connolly`s unforgiving brand of prose, reveling in the grotesqueries of everyday human behavior, is achingly funny.
Elizabeth has her heart set on a traditional English seaside vacation (five-star all the way, naturally), and her oh-so-well-to-do husband Howard agrees to pay, because that is largely what Howard is for. Their neighbor Dotty, who envies Elizabeth`s lifestyle, determines on the very same vacation, but Dotty`s impoverished husband comes up with an appalling alternative (don`t even ask). Single parent Melody is going to the seaside too, to say nothing of despicable Miles McInerney: action is what he wants. In other words, hell is about to break loose.
