Parlour Games by Mavis Cheek

3.0

I thought the writing in Parlour Games was great - witty and knowing, which almost made the 1980s setting seem like something from an Austen novel. However, as I read on I simply disliked almost all the characters, who were all deeply self-obsessed. This, coupled with the seemingly casual acceptance of infidelity made the novel less enjoyable for me, and the ending was also unsatisfying.
