Description
A Footman for the Peacock by Rachel Ferguson is a scathing satire of class abuses, presented as a comic masterpiece. Set in the early days of World War II, the novel follows the Roundelay family and their retainers as they navigate a history of callous cruelty. The story takes a dark turn when war threatens the family's smug superiority, and an unexpected connection to the past may be aiding the Nazi cause. By turns giddy and incisive, hilarious and heartbreaking, this novel showcases Rachel Ferguson's writing at its best. A new edition features an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford, adding context to this complex and engaging story. A Footman for the Peacock is a humorous and thought-provoking read that explores the complexities of class and loyalty in a way that is both entertaining and unsettling.
