SNOBS BY JULIAN FELLOWES, PHOENIX, $22.99.
Could there be anything more diverting than spending time as a portrait-on-the-wall at Broughton Hall and observing the intricate manners of the English aristocracy?
British writer Julian Fellowes – Oscar-winning screenwriter of Gosford Park and himself listed in Debrett’s Peerage & Baronetage – introduces us to Lady “Googie” Uckfield and the adventuress Edith Lavery, who marries Googie’s lumpish son, the Earl of Broughton. It’s all set in the 1990s and is a gossipy, witty, brilliant comedy of manners. I love it to pieces.
