Description - What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe

A very British upper-class family find themselves caught in a slasher-film come to life, in this spine-tingling, hilarious 1980s satire from one of our greatest British novelists

A brilliant noir farce, a dystopian vision and the story of an obsession. Michael is a lonely, rather pathetic writer, obsessed by the film 'What A Carve Up!', in which a mad knifeman cuts his way through the inhabitants of a decrepit stately pile as the thunder rages.

Inexplicably, Michael is commissioned to write the family history of the Winshaws, an upper class Yorkshire clan whose members have a finger in every establishment pie. But as a murderous maniac stalks the family, Michael realizes that his favourite film is coming true.
