Recenzii

This is Jilly Cooper territory, with a whiff of Joanna Trollope; a lavish saga about privileged people behaving badly
Pure pleasure . If you're in need of a Succession replacement then this tale of a crumbling English dynasty is for you
Fun of this kind is irresistible
Jilly Cooper fans (and who isn't?) will love the unashamedly upmarket settings and posh characters. A romcom to beat the winter blues: funny, sharply-observed and boho-chic glamorous
Waspish yet generous-hearted, it delights from start to finish
Rothschild . is a witty, stylish storyteller and her overall message definitely feels timely
Curl up and lose yourself in this hugely entertaining satire of a deeply dysfunctional family of aristocrats desperate to save their crumbling Cornwall home
This slyly comic novel is a great dissection of class and privilege
A satisfying read, with plenty of good one-liners and a sly twist
The madcap nature of the story; the clichés, and clever way they are rendered, make this a thoroughly enjoyable read - or, to use the correct terminology, a jolly good show. Yet the larger issues this satire plays on are equally fascinating
Rothschild's engaging tale House of Trelawney cleverly satirises an unconventional aristocratic clan who have run into money troubles
Wraps up a story of love and friendship in a gentle satire of entitlement . Good fun
A sparkling satire
In their crumbling Cornish castle, the impoverished and eccentric aristocratic Trelawneys live on their wits and value-pack mince. But the fallout of the 2008 financial crash brings even more change in its wake. A wryly witty and sharp social satire
Imagine Evelyn Waugh meets Nancy Mitford, with some Jilly Cooper thrown in, and you have this splendid romp
