Already a member of the House of Lords and Mistress of St. Martha's College in Cambridge, Baroness "Jack" Troutbeck leaps at an invitation to become a Distinguished Visiting Professor on an American campus. With her head full of romantic fantasies inspired by 1950s Hollywood, she sets off from England blissfully unaware that academia in the USA is dominated by knee-jerk liberalism, contempt for Western civilization, and the institutionalization of a form of insane political correctness. Can she defeat the thought-police who run Freeman State University? And will she manage to persuade Robert Amiss to abandon his honey-moon and fly to her side? Dr. Ruth Dudley Edwards has been a freelance writer, journalist and broadcaster. Her novels target the civil service, gentlemen's clubs, Cambridge colleges, the House of Lords, the Church of England, publishing, literary prizes and-always-political correctness. www.ruthdudleyedwards.com
