Snobs: Julian Fellowes

The Sunday Times bestselling novel from the award-winning creator of Downton Abbey and Oscar-winning writer of Gosford Park.
Edith Lavery is a woman on the make. The attractive only child of a middle-class accountant, she leaves behind her dull job in a Chelsea estate agents and manages to bag one of the most eligible bachelors of the day - Charles Broughton, heir to the Marquess of Uckfield.
But is life amongst the upper echelons of "good" society all that it seems? Edith soon discovers there`s much more to the aristocracy than dancing in Anabel`s, shooting small birds and understanding which fork to use at dinner. And then there is Charles`s mother, the indomitable Lady Uckfield, or "Googie" to her friends, who is none too pleased with her son`s choice of breeding partner. With twists and turns aplenty, this is a comical tale worthy of a contemporary Jane Austen.
