Smile Please

by Jonathan Keates

This is a comedy of jaded lives, sex and secrets, of the urge to end the game, to dodge the Millennium and flee to the country. With his unerring satirist's eye, softened by a wry indulgence towards human weakness, Jonathan Keates mixes irony and compassion in a stylish, poignant and entertaining novel of post-Cool Britannia.
