«Pleasant Vices» is Judy Astley's comic novel, published by Black Swan in paperback (288 pages, in English).
On a peaceful London street, a neighborhood watch program tries to curb the troublesome youths from the nearby housing development, while each family hides its own transgressions: fare-dodging, substances and undeclared money. Jenny, by offering flute lessons, discovers an unexpected business and realizes that it is her marriage, not her property, that needs watching.
The work originally appeared in 1995; this edition is from 1998. The cover presents Judy Astley as the author of «Just for the Summer».
For readers of contemporary British comedy and light fiction about family and marriage, in the vein of Carole Matthews and Jenny Colgan.
