«Class» is Jilly Cooper's humorous essay on the English class system, published by Corgi in paperback (368 pages, in English).
The author argues that classism is still very much alive in England and ironically portrays recognizable characters such as Harry Stow-Crat, the Nouveau-Richards or the Upward. Her deliberately unfair observations review each group's everyday pretensions: courtship, furniture, clothing, education, food, careers and ambitions.
The cover announces it as «An Exposé of the English Class System»; 2005 edition.
Suitable for readers who enjoy British social satire and humorous observations of everyday life.
