FROM THE CREATOR OF DOWNTON ABBEY and THE GILDED AGE

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A modern classic that will fill any Downton-shaped hole' Daily Express
'A delicious thoroughbred delight' Stephen Fry
'A brilliantly malicious portrait of upper-class society and all those who long to be accepted by them' Jilly Cooper

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?

'Horribly compelling' The Times
'Provocative, titillating and seductive' Spectator
'Everything you would hope for from the writer of Gosford Park' Stephen Fry

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
