Camberwell Beauty by Jenny Eclair
Full of comic insight and realistic observation of contemporary British life, this is the debut novel from Sunday Times bestseller Jenny Eclair.
This comedienne has always been a novelist-in-waiting. . Eclair's modern cautionary tale has the same bittersweet wit that shapes her stand-up set, but there's nothing remotely funny about its dark conclusion * Guardian *
Irreverant observations are thrown down gauntlet-like as [Eclair] rages on to the next gag * The Times *
Viciously funny and very well written * Daily Mail *
