Succession from the pen of the modern Nancy Mitford - the razor-sharp, diamond-bright new novel from the award-winning, bestselling author of the Baileys Prize-shortlisted The Improbability of Love
Hannah Rothschild is a writer, filmmaker, philanthropist and company director. Her biography of Pannonica Rothschild, The Baroness, was published in 2012. Her first novel, The Improbability of Love, won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for best comic novel and was shortlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. She writes original and adapted screenplays and also for major newspapers and magazines in the US and UK. Her documentary features have been broadcast on major networks and shown at film festivals. A non-executive director of various financial institutions and the former chair of London’s National Gallery, she lives in London with her three children.

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

Rothschild’s engaging tale House of Trelawney cleverly satirises an
unconventional aristocratic clan who have run into money
troubles
*Independent Online*
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
*The Times*
This slyly comic novel is a great dissection of class and
privilege
*Red*
Curl up and lose yourself in this hugely entertaining satire of a
deeply dysfunctional family of aristocrats desperate to save their
crumbling Cornwall home
*i paper*
A sparkling satire
