From the bestselling author of Kiss Myself Goodbye comes a raucous, deliciously funny political satire for fans of Evelyn Waugh and Veep.

Ferdinand Mount's latest novel is a journey through the murky world of London PR firms, the back rooms of Westminster and on the campaign trail in America and Africa. Along for the ride is the hapless Dickie, lately the diplomatic correspondent for a London financial newspaper. With his wife Jane and their two daughters, Dickie finds himself bound up in an ever more alarming series of unfortunate events, revolving around the shady character of Ethel (Ethelbert), founder of the dubious public relations agency Making Nice.

Making Nice is a masterly take on the madness of contemporary society and the limitless human capacity for self-deception.

This is Ferdinand Mount at his very best.
