Discover this wickedly funny classic about the very bad behaviour of an aristocratic family – A BBC2 Between the Covers pick!***’Molly Keane is a mistress of wicked comedy’ VOGUE’Dark, complex, engaging . . . a wonderful tour de force’ MARIAN KEYES I do know how to behave – believe me, because I know. I have always known . . .Behind the gates of Temple Alice, the aristocratic Anglo-Irish St Charles family sinks into a state of decaying grace. To Aroon St Charles, large and unlovely daughter of the house, the fierce forces of sex, money, jealousy and love seem locked out by the ritual patterns of good behaviour. But crumbling codes of conduct cannot hope to save the members of the St Charles family from their own unruly and inadmissible desires. . . ‘I have read and re-read Molly Keane more, I think, than any other writer. Nobody else can touch her as a satirist, tragedian and dissector of human behaviour. I love all her books, but Good Behaviour and Loving and Giving are the ones I return to most’ MAGGIE O’FARRELL
