About this title

Review:

'A wonderfully fresh novel that immerses the reader in a world most culd never dream of entering. Julian Fellowes's wit and sharp observational skills brighten every page.' -- WATERSTONE'S BOOK QUARTERLY

'Astute and wonderfully witty, this is an interesting insight into the world of the upper classes.' -- COMPANY

'a modern comedy of manners. The plot includes a disapproving mother-in-law and some serious impediments to Edith's attempts at social climbing of epic proportions. This is a witty bestseller from Julian Fellowes, the Oscar-winning writer of the hit film Gosford park.'

-- DAILY EXPRESS

'an entertaining read.' -- NEW BOOKS

'it's the brittle, crystalline dialogue and the brilliant satire of the 21st century dinner-party set, that ensure the pages keep turning.' -- THE OBSERVER

'this splendidly entertaining novel.' -- GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

Book Description:

From the Oscar-winning writer of GOSFORD PARK and much loved-actor Julian Fellowes, a comedy that has been a runaway bestseller
