About this book

The Marie Crompton Luncheon Club is one of those quintessentially British groups of ladies of a certain age who live in the same village and get together for their luncheon soirees more for the camaraderie than for any real intellectual stimulation. Tired of the usual speakers (garden enthusiasts, travelogue presenters), they decide to invite well-known raconteur, television personality, and B-list celebrity Sir Anthony Chance to their annual "big do," never thinking he will accept.--Amazon.com.
