Summary
The Sunday Times bestseller - a richly detailed and wildly entertaining social history of the English country house in the 1920s and 1930s.
Venture behind closed doors to uncover the secrets of life in the interwar country house…
During the 1920s and 1930s, as the sun set slowly on the British Empire, England’s stately homes concealed worlds both opulent and ordinary, noble and viscious. This was a realm draped in myth, hidden behind stiff upper lips and film-star smiles.
