Description
When a socialist clergyman leaves his fortune to a ruthless Tory MP, the consequences are far-reaching. Two brothers react in different ways: one seeks to challenge the will, while the other quietly digs into the past to uncover an unexpected explanation.
This witty and engaging novel is a delicious portrait of English country life, featuring a glorious cast of characters. With its exquisitely drawn saga of ancient rivalries and class struggles, Paradise Postponed is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in satire and family dynamics.
