I present to you possibly the worst blurb ever written, for a new Adam Mars-Jones novel

Alarming absence of puns in this piece.

Will Charles go for an early abdication?

Includes details of where Michael O'Leary is on holiday with his family which is publicly available info but still creepy that I know.
