Recenzii
'Something Nancy Mitford and Jilly Cooper might have cooked up'
A 'funny, emotionally insightful, cracking paced thriller'
'(Rothschild's) brilliant new novel, High Time, is pure escapist satire. Once again set in the world of high art as well as high finance - both of which she lampoons with comic aplomb - the book reads like a thrilling fairground ride version of Downton Abbey.'
'An entertaining and arch caper'
'Over-the-top hilarious and a sharply satiric view of late-stage capitalism, this plays like a savvy cross between Brideshead Revisited and Succession as written by the Monty Python troupe'
'Blissful, escapist fiction. prepare to be entertained'
'A satirical comedy of manners on the ways business and finance interact - and is a whole lot of fun too. Wonderful and fanciful...High Time is fast-paced and high energy, but also contains moment of real sentiment. Hannah proves her deftness for wit and style in this Mitfordesque satire. High art hustles and Cornish castles, High Time is perfect escapist reading with real heart."
'The perfect summer read: mischievous and delicious. I devoured it in one go'
'A must-read for 2023'
'An entertaining dissection of the very British obsessions with money, class and scandal... High Time is a lot of fun'
'One of the wittiest writers around'
'High Time - high style, high jinx. My kind of novel - intelligent escapism at its most satisfying'
'High Time is a manically and magical wonderful romp, fast and furious in pace, style and extravagance'
'Biting and satirical, but also poignant and moving, High Time is a delicious story of madness, mayhem, and mischief run amok'
'Exuberant. revels in satirising English attitudes to class, cash and family scandal'
'A light and escapist tale ... with all the right ingredients'
'A delicious, riveting novel'

'The perfect summer read: mischievous and delicious. I devoured it in one go.' Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace
Chosen by The Irish Times and Tatler as a fiction highlight for 2023
WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGH, HOW LOW WILL YOU GO?
Ayesha Scott has a perfect life. Home is an art-filled Cornish castle with her stratospherically wealthy, titled husband and their beloved daughter. But behind every realised dream lurks an unexploded nightmare and in the course of one day Ayesha discovers that she will be penniless, homeless and powerless unless she can outwit the international mafia, infiltrate the world of high finance and make backstreet deals with the shadiest members of the art world.
Hurt and betrayed, she's determined to fight for herself and her daughter – but can she do it without enlisting the help of her beloved, deeply eccentric but estranged family?
Sharp escapist fiction, High Time is a novel about high stakes and high jinx set in the world of high art and high finance.
