Alan Bennet on acid!

...Vera and Irene are matronly English women of a certain age who get up to all sorts of picaresque adventures aided and abetted by a cast of dysfunctional offspring, psychics, thieves, ageing lotharios and authority figures. They communicate entirely by letter and these were originally read (rather brilliantly) on UK radio by Prunella Scales and Patricia Routledge. They work very well on the page too and you can really appreciate the superb writing. I think this book would appeal to anyone who likes the sort of observational comedy of UK writers such Alan Bennett or Victoria Wood.
