Summary
In 1980s Britain, the Winshaw family--an integral part of the British Establishment--are becoming more wealthy and corrupt by the day. Newspaper columnist Hilary Winshaw gets thousands for telling it like it isn't; Henry is turning hospitals into carparks; Roddy is selling art in return for sex; down on the farm, Dorothy's squealing every last pound from her livestock; Thomas is making a killing on the stock exchange, and Mark is selling arms to dictators. Michael Pearce, a reclusive novelist (and our narrator), is commissioned to write their biography by a wealthy geriatric who wishes to expose them.
