Highly recommended.
From the creator of the Emmy-Award
winning Downton Abbey...
'The English, of all classes as it
happens, are addicted to exclusivity. Leave three Englishmen in a
room and they will invent a rule that prevents a fourth joining
them.'
The best comedies of manners are often
deceptively simple, seamlessly blending social critique with
character and story. In his superbly observed first novel, Julian
Fellowes, winner of an Academy Awa
rd for his original screenplay of Gosford Park, brings us an
insider's look at a contemporary England that is still not as
classless as is popularly supposed.
Edith Lavery, an English blonde with
large eyes and nice manners, is the daughter of a moderately
successful accountant and his social-climbing wife. While visiting
his parents' stately home as a paying guest, Edith meets Charles,
Earl of Broughton, and heir to the Marquess of Uckfield, who runs
the family estates in East Sussex and Norfolk. To the gossip
columns he is one of the most eligible young aristocrats
around.
When he proposes. Edith accepts. But is
she really in love with Charles? Or with his title, his position,
and all that goes with it?
