Description

When rich and imperious American widow Beatrice Chavender eats a forkful of inferior ham at her sister’s country house near London, it affects the lives of everyone around her – her sister, her brother-in-law, her sister’s butler, her sister’s poor relation Sally, Sally’s fiance Lord Holberton, and, most of all, Mrs Chavender’s own one-time fiance, ‘Ham King’ J. B. Duff, whose rotten product spoils her breakfast.

Evelyn Waugh; "He exhausts superlatives" Stephen Fry; "Pure word music" Douglas Adams; "The Everyman edition promises to be a splendid celebration of the divine Plum" The Independent; "The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare" Evening Standard; "A handsome, collectable hardback edition" Lynne Truss, The Times"
