Beschreibung

'Imagine Evelyn Waugh meets Nancy Mitford, with some Jilly Cooper thrown in, and you have this splendid romp ... Hilarious, escapist bliss' YOU 'Delights from start to finish' Mail on Sunday 'Irresistible' Guardian 'Sheer escapist bliss' Nigella Lawson 'Pure joy' India Knight, Sunday Times Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize For Comic Fiction The Earls of Trelawney have inhabited the same castle for 800 years - but recent generations have been better at spending than making money. Now living in isolated penury, unable to communicate with each other or the rest of the world, the family are running out of options. Three unexpected events will hasten their demise: the sudden appearance of a new relation, an illegitimate, headstrong, beautiful girl; an unscrupulous American hedge fund manager determined to exact revenge; and the crash of 2008. Deliciously escapist and gloriously funny, House of Trelawney is a novel about family and forgiveness, chaos and crisis - and finding yourself in the most unexpected ways.

Rezensionen

This is Jilly Cooper territory, with a whiff of Joanna Trollope; a lavish saga about privileged people behaving badly The Times

If you're in need of a Succession replacement then this tale of a crumbling English dynasty clinging on to the past while coping with the fallout of the 2008 crash is for you. Rothschild is a mischievous narrator and this story is pure pleasure from the word go
