Snobs

This witty and astute novel by the creator of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes, takes a satirical look at the society of contemporary England that is still held back by certain class distinctions. Edith Lavery, a beautiful and polite English girl, finds herself in a dilemma when she meets Charles, the Earl Broughton, heir to the Marquess of Uckfield. Is she in love with him, or his title and position? Charles's mother is keeping a watchful eye on their relationship, convinced that Edith is only interested in her son's title. Full of sharp observations and social critique, Snobs is a deliciously enticing portrait of modern manners.
