Title: Shooting Party
Author: COLEGATE ISABEL
A masterpiece of historical fiction, and the inspiration behind Downton Abbey
It is 1913 – a breath away from the Great War – and Edwardian England is about to vanish into history. An assorted group of men and women gather at Sir Randolph Nettleby’s estate for a shooting party. Opulent, adulterous, moving assuredly through the rituals of eating and slaughter, they are an era’s dazzlingly obtuse and brilliantly decorative finale.
A quiet, elegant meditation on class frustration and the transience of human concern, The Shooting Party is also the inspiration behind one of the great landmarks of popular culture – Downtown Abbey.
