'Fellowes doesn't try to hide his love of the funny, sealed, above-stairs world of dukes, duchesses, marquesses, nursery maids, herbaceous borders and breakfast kedgeree, all of which makes SNOBS such a a good, fresh read' Daily Telegraph

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.

Industry Reviews

A wildly funny novel about aristocrats and social climbers. - Daily Telegraph

Snobs is everything you would hope for from the writer of Gosford Park. A treat that is awake to every maddening and appallingly attractive nuance of English social life.

A cast of rackety aristos and aspiring toffs who might have slipped straight from the pages of a Jane Austen novel; it's spiky, Emma Woodhouse-style asides make Snobs irresistible. - Mail on Sunday
