If you're in need of a Succession replacement then this tale of a crumbling English dynasty clinging on to the past while coping with the fallout of the 2008 crash is for you. Rothschild is a mischievous narrator and this story is pure pleasure from the word go

Fun of this kind is irresistible

Jilly Cooper fans (and who isn't?) will love the unashamedly upmarket settings and posh characters. A romcom to beat the winter blues: funny, sharply-observed and boho-chic glamorous

Daily Mail

Waspish yet generous-hearted, it delights from start to finish

Mail on Sunday

Rothschild … is a witty, stylish storyteller and her overall message definitely feels timely

Sunday Times

This is Jilly Cooper territory, with a whiff of Joanna Trollope; a lavish saga about privileged people behaving badly … Rothschild is a writer of high intelligence, however, and she shakes these dear old tropes up into something more akin to John Lanchester's blistering contemporary satire Capital … Rothschild teases out the green shoots with skill and humour … If we take House of Trelawney as a light-hearted state-of-the-nation novel, it says a lot about the dangers of dwelling on past entitlement and the importance of unsentimental realism
