This is from my first review on Amazon, posted by "Timbo".
David Gee’s tongue-in-cheek, if dark, social and sexual satire (a sort of cross between David Lodge and Tom Sharpe) leads us through a topsy-turvy world of sexual shenanigans and unconventional relationships conducted behind the outwardly respectable façade of small town life, a façade which the return of the prodigal son, Paul, cracks wide open, to reveal the unsavoury secrets lurking behind it.
This is a highly-absorbing, entertaining and ultimately satisfying read, and one which I would unhesitatingly recommend.
