Featured on The Book Show on Sky Arts on 29 January 2009.

 

Wealthy Damian Baxter is dying without an heir when an unsigned letter arrives inferring he had a son thirty years ago.  The story backtracks to the late 60s and into the lives of six girlfriends who he slept with before mumps rendered him sterile.  It’s the dying days of debs, the last coming-our balls of the season and a period when the upper classes were having to adjust to changing times.  Full of terrific observations on human nature, it’s funny, poignant and enormously enjoyable.

 

Comparison: Jilly Cooper, Eva Rice (Lost Art of Keeping Secrets), Veronica Henry.
