Hoorah! A dazzling new novel has appeared featuring a subject hitherto unknown to quality fiction, radio soap opera. This hidden world has long been pleading to be fictionalised - that is, if hidden worlds can plead. If they can, that plea has now been granted.

The action in Paul Binding's latest opus takes place in the 1950s, those heady days when a hefty chunk of the female British population glued their ears to the wireless set twice a week to be perked up by, in this case, The Parkers. As twist after twist baffles and delights the reader, it becomes apparent that life does not so much imitate art, but that soap operas pinch plots from life, which in turn, mimics radio drama.
