Como escribió Michael Barber, el cada vez más popular Tom Sharpe acredita ser «un virtuoso de la novela cómica, más brutalmente divertido que cualquier escritor inglés», como comprobarán los lectores de esta novela, en la que «los cataclismos se suceden a un ritmo digno de los hermanos Marx» (Eric Neuhoff). En el reparto figuran una formidable y riquísima aristócrata rural, Lay Maud, y su codicioso marido, Sir Lynchwood, ferviente adicto a adúlteras prácticas masoquistas, que quiere adueñarse de sus propiedades; un jardinero, el temible Blott, de complicados orígenes, que ama tanto a Lady Maud como odia a su marido; una autopista que debe trinchar la casa solariega según los deseos de Sir Lynchwood y conmociona la plácida vida local; un funcionario del gobierno, enviado como mediador ante la magnitud de los incidentes provocados por Lady Maud, quien es narcotizado, fotografiado en poses obscenas y sometido a toda clase de sevicias hasta que se decide a desencadenar su propia furia.
