Swimming Pool Sunday and The Tennis Party

Swimming pool Sunday: In an English village a girl injures herself in a neighbor's swimming pool and a lawyer convinces the mother to sue. Unaware he is using her to further his career, she does so, starting a string of unforeseen events. By the author of A Desirable Residence.

The tennis party: Four very different English couples, from aristocratic to "dreadfully sporty," converge for a tennis party. So begin two days of tempers, shocks, revelations, the arrival of an uninvited guest, and the realization that the weekend was about anything but tennis. A comedy of manners by a first novelist.
