Charles Highway is every mother¿s worst nightmare.

Precociously intelligent, mercilessly manipulative and highly sexed, Charles devotes the last of his teenage years to bedding girls and evading the half-arsed overtures of his distant parents. That is, until, he meets the aloof, wildly unattainable, Rachel.

As Charles¿s twentieth birthday ¿ and the Oxford entrance exams ¿ loom, his plans for seducing Rachel will draw him into a private collection of obsessional notes and observations: the eponymous `Rachel Papers¿.

WINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD

'Scurrilous, shameless and very funny' The Times Literary Supplement

`Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving¿ Peter Ackroyd
