The Magnificent Barsteward

Some men follow the rules. Some men bend them. And some men regard them as little more than suggestions. The Magnificent Barsteward is a darkly funny novel about charm, chaos, questionable judgement and the inconvenient consequences that tend to follow when confidence runs several steps ahead of common sense. Sharp, irreverent and unapologetically British, it follows a world where wit can get you almost anywhere, rules are made to be negotiated, and every clever decision carries the potential to become a spectacularly bad one.
With a mischievous sense of humour and a distinctly cynical eye on respectability, convention and the people who take both far too seriously, The Magnificent Barsteward is for readers who enjoy flawed characters, outrageous behaviour and comedy with a darker edge. Because sometimes the difference between a magnificent bastard and a complete disaster is simply knowing when to leave.
