Meeting the English by Kate Clanchy

3.0

Great characters in this north London novel set in 1989. We have Phillip Prys - well-known playwright and the paterfamilias who needs " care" after his stroke. The household he inhabits comprises a young Scot - Struan to fulfil carer role. We also have current wife, ex-wife and children. A sharply observed comedy of manners.
