The Bachelors by Muriel Spark
Spiritualist and extortionist Patrick Seton is coming up for trial. He's been accused of forgery, and suddenly West London's bachelors are all in a tizzy. Described by Evelyn Waugh as the 'cleverest and most elegant of all Mrs Spark's clever and elegant books', The Bachelors is a biting comedy of English manners.'As I entered my teens, I developed a taste for more arch, snappy writing and discovered the joys of Muriel SparkWisdom and wit — ideal for an impressionable youth finding his way in the world'
