This is a gentle satire of the hypocrisy and at times ludicrous nature of bourgeois life in modern New Zealand, and of how a woman who married "up" into money struggles with it all, especially as the financial security unravels. Many of the characters are hilarious in their unwitting shallowness. The novel was deservedly acclaimed as New Zealand's best novel of the year at the awards ceremony earlier this year.
