Elders and Betters [electronic resource]
Compton-Burnett, Ivy2014
eBook
For a secret switching of wills causes the most genteel pursuit of self-interest to threaten good relations and even good manners...First published in 1944, Ivy Compton-Burnett employs her sharp ear for comedy and celebrated powers of dialogue to spectacular effect. She reveals a devastating microcosm of human society, in which the elders are by no means always the betters, in which no character is totally scrupulous, but none without their appeal.
