Reviews
-
Bitter sibling rivalries; the disputed inheritance of a vast, magnificent and historic house; a scandalous lawsuit. You could be forgiven for thinking of Downton Abbey, but the story Robert Sackville-West tells in The Disinherited, his second book about his home, Knole House (or Castle) in Kent, is not only more complex and far-reaching than the fates of the fictional Crawleys, but it also has the significant advantage of being true.

Sympathetic to the protagonists' plight, Sackville-West hones a well-crafted narrative of intrigue, betrayal and greed.
Kirkus
