Summary
A masterpiece of historical fiction, and the inspiration behind Downton Abbey
It is 1913 - a breath away from the Great War - and Edwardian England is about to vanish into history. An assorted group of men and women gather at Sir Randolph Nettleby’s estate for a shooting party.

A quiet, elegant meditation on class frustration…
