About this ebook
Got two hours and want to have some fun?
Dinner Party For Eight scythes a side splitting swathe through a British Upper Class dinner party in Hall House, a newly built mansion on top of a cliff somewhere in Cornwall, England.
There’s Norma Pengrové-Jones, the hostess, who is desperate to climb the social ladder.
There’s Harry her husband, a successful property developer from Australia, who is a rough diamond.
There’s Edith Douglas-Smith who is an expert on the British class system and who has taken the powers of haughtiness to a completely new level.
There’s Samantha Brickley, an occasional vampire actress, with not much upstairs other than a well endowed bosom.
There‘s Professor John Adcock, an erudite Professor of Physics and his sweet wife Jo-Ann.
There’s Major Peter Forsyth, of the Queen’s Lancers, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, with a penchant for Drilling.
There’s Tom Eagle, an expert on Wines, and known as the Eagle.
And in the kitchen, there’s Master Chef Mario Fabiano, and his beautiful assistant Angela.
And lurking in the background are the hostess’s street wise super smart brat son Winston and his pimple squeezing sidekick accomplice Alan who have their own agenda for the dinner party.
Dinner Party For Eight races along at the pace of a laugh-a minute as it delves into the many idiocies of human social mores.
Enjoy!
