East of Wimbledon cover

The third title in Nigel William's hilarious Wimbledon trilogy, all re-issued with eye-catching covers.

Robert Wilson is an aimless, chronically untruthful young Englishman who has passed himself off as a Muslim, in order to secure a job at the newly established Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys' Day School. East of Wimbledon is the hilarious story of Mr Wilson's decline and fall, as he demonstrates the failure of a post-colonial Briton to understand another great imperial culture that has absolutely no need of him.

Screamingly funny * Independent on Sunday *
Williams has taken the suburban comic novel to heights of which it can never have dreamed. * Guardian *
A cleverly plotted, wildly funny plea for common sense [that] makes you laugh out aloud on nearly every page. * New Statesman *
