Henry Wilt, the beleaguered hero of Tom Sharpe, makes a triumphant return for another uproarious dose of quickfire farce.
Trapped in a job he despises, yet cannot afford to lose, as the nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt remains at the mercy of The Powers That Be, both at work and beyond. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the exorbitant school fees for his detestable quadruplet daughters, are his constant sources of anguish... not to mention the relentless hangovers. When Eva enrolls him in a summer job teaching the gun-toting, imbecilic son of a lustful local aristocrat, Wilt is less than thrilled. However, as events unfold and the summer progresses, Wilt begins to see the potential financial benefits of the situation, while also relishing the idea of causing Eva some headaches of her own.
With Tom Sharpe's trademark dark humor on full display, and a riveting plot that transports readers to unexpected places, "The Wilt Inheritance" stands as another masterpiece from the British maestro of farce.
