When Vic Wilcox (MD of Pringle's engineering works) meets English lecturer Dr Robyn Penrose, sparks fly as their lifestyles and ideologies collide head on.

Reviews for Nice Work

A funny, intelligent and superbly placed social comedy * The New York Times * A work of immense intelligence, informative, disturbing and diverting * Observer * As a comedy of society and class misunderstandings, Lodge has never observed more sharply... A very nice work indeed * The Times * Rich in reserves of humour and irony...the book is a delight * Mail on Sunday *
