Trade ReviewA
wildly funny novel about aristocrats and social climbers. - Daily Telegraph
Snobs is everything you would hope for from the writer of Gosford Park. A treat that is awake to every maddening and appallingly attractive nuance of English social life.
A cast of rackety aristos and aspiring toffs who
might have slipped straight from the pages of a Jane Austen novel; it's spiky, Emma Woodhouse-style asides make
Snobs irresistible. - Mail on Sunday
