Produktinformationen zu „The Importance of Manners (ePub)“
A slapstick, satirical novel taking a motley crew of hapless Westerners on a journey into their very own Heart of Darkness. Burt Darwin is a collector of world religions. Lady Chanel Mallory, a former hand model, has married into the aristocracy and loves romance novels. Her husband Lord Percy, a pompous cynic, mistakenly thinks she's French. Sister Mary dresses like Mother Teresa and believes flossing is blasphemous. Four passengers on a cruise ship, thrown together by chance, take an ill-judged excursion into modern-day Benin. Amongst angry Kings, sarcastic pythons, fortune-tellers and Vodun gods, the hypocrisies and venality of the misfits are revealed with hilarious and unforgettable results. Oh, and one of them saves the world. The Importance of Manners is a slapstick, satirical comic novel for adults in the vein of Alexander McCall Smith, Evelyn Waugh and PG Wodehouse.
