In search of my A-Z book challenge, I picked this book for two reasons. It sounded good from the blurb and it only had one rating. I am very thankful to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read books for honest reviews because I get to discover new books and authors, this book was no exception. I give it a 4.5 stars, the only reason I marked it down by 0.5 is some of the 'additional' characters I was left confused thinking 'who is this one again' maybe because I didn't connect with them all.

This is a story of the rich and the trials and tribulations of it. I don't want to give anything away in addition to the blurb. If you like the sound of it, go read it! The author paints the characters incredibly, I am now off to see what else she's got to offer!

I think this might be the next big summer read.

You get the feeling that Hannah Rothschild is channelling Amanda Craig, both stylistically and in world-building: and this is no bad thing if (like me) you are already a great fan of Craig. This is a sequel to The House of Trelawney, with elements in from her first (rather splendid) novel too; and it's very readable. Good fun, if a bit slight.
