100% more bizarre and more polyamorous than i was expecting. still one of the most entertaining and intriguing reads this year.

Murdoch has some very fascinating ideas and arguments about the nature of what is nice and good, how we relate it to ourselves and the people around us but her most impressive skill is capturing this foreign (to me) odd British way of life and illustrating it so completely and intricately.
