'Long ago in 1945 all the nice people in England were poor, allowing for exceptions'
In the May of Teck Club - a London hostel 'three times window shattered since 1940 but never directly hit' - the young lady residents do their best to act as if the war never happened. They practice elocution, and jostle one another over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. But behind the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations they hide some tragically painful secrets and wounds. 'You girls are my vocation... I am dedicated to you in my prime'

But can a love of literature, fine clothes and amorous young men save these young ladies from the horrors of the real world?

From a fraudulent psychiatrist grappling with two equally fraudulent clients in Aiding and Abetting, to the dirty dealings of The Abbess of Crewe's band of corrupt nuns, to the three plane crash survivors of Robinson eking out an existence on an Atlantic island after its resident mystic disappears, these three satires probe the recesses of human fallibility with formidable precision.Spanning five decades, the glittering, sharp and sinister works of Spark's Satire confirm their author as one of...
