    Times are harsh, and Barbara's bank account has seen better days. Stumped for ideas, Barbara draws inspiration from fellow residents of her quaint English village, writing a revealing novel that features the townsfolk as characters. The smashing bestseller is published under the pseudonym John Smith, which is a good thing because villagers recognize the truth. But what really turns her world around is when events in real life start mimicking events in the book. Funny, charming, and insightful, this novel reveals what happens when people see themselves through someone else's eyes.

    

    

    Operated by a corporate monopoly who maximizes profits and misery, Hell has become the perfect capitalist paradise.

    

    Mrs. Tim goes to the Highlands of Scotland and is involved in a plot to rescue a naval officer from the toils of a siren; but, alas, the best laid plans 'gang aft agley'. The characters are skillfully drawn, from the fierce Mrs. London with her heart of gold to the garrulous Mrs. Falconer who always gets things wrong and whose muddled stories of her girlhood make excruciatingly funny reading. The house party amuses itself with picnics and fishing excursions and is suitably thrilled by the flourishing ancestral feud of two rival clans, which has its origin in the dim past. Mrs. Tim observes her fellow men and women with sympathy and humor and records her observations with a racy pen. The result is an attractive and witty story of an unusual character.
