SUMMARY

'Elegantly written, civilised and genuinely funny; there are smiles on almost every page... There is both humour and wit in the writing' Scotsman Robert Purcell knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life from the moment he read his father's entry in Who's Who. He too would get a First in Law, enjoy a distinguished career as a barrister and a judge and marry well. At first, all seems to go to plan so how did this perfect specimen of the British Establishment end up in prison? An intellectual giant but an emotional pygmy, Robert is a man struggling to come to terms with the forces that have brought him down from the wife who wanted him to change to the ex-girlfriend who came back to haunt him and the childhood bully who turned into an adult bully. Despite everything, Robert remains determined to carry on being the same magnificently self-righteous man he always was, utterly resistant to therapy, change and the emotional demands of the opposite sex. 'This is light reading but deceptively so, offering deliciously well observed vignettes of the top legal set' Time Out 'Brilliantly witty' Arabella WeirCanter, Jon is the author of 'A Short Gentleman', published 2009 under ISBN 9780099492856 and ISBN 0099492857.
