Bernard Jones and the Temple Of Mammon
The Investment Diary of Bernard Jones
In this
second volume of the Bernard Jones Diaries, retired civil
servant Bernard Jones finds making
money through investing remains as elusive as ever, though his
overbearing and over-sexed wife Eunice finds no trouble spending
it.
As ever
Bernard’s family, Guardian-reading schoolteacher son Brian,
dopy daughter Jemima and malevolent grandchild Digby (a.k.a The
Antichrist) all seem to stand in the way of his reaching
financial nirvana. Worst of all is Bernard’s dotty mother Dot,
who holds in her palsied hands an inheritance that can make or
break the family.
Bernard is
an emblem for the thousands of small investors whose stories of
struggle and persistence are never told, an operating prophet
for those weighed down by a demanding spouse-to-earnings ratio.
