520 "From the award-winning novelist and writer of Upstairs
Downstairs, the launch of a brilliant new trilogy about
what life was really like for masters and servants before
the world of Downton Abbey As the Season of 1899 comes to
an end, the world is poised on the brink of profound,
irrevocable change. The Earl of Dilberne is facing serious
financial concerns. The ripple effects spread to everyone
in the household: Lord Robert, who has gambled unwisely on
the stock market and seeks a place in the Cabinet; his
unmarried children, Arthur, who keeps a courtesan, and
Rosina, who keeps a parrot in her bedroom; Lord Robert's
wife Isobel, who orders the affairs of the household in
Belgrave Square; and Grace, the lady's maid who orders the
life of her mistress.Lord Robert can see no financial
relief to an already mortgaged estate, and, though the
Season is over, his thoughts turn to securing a suitable
wife (and dowry) for his son. The arrival on the London
scene of Minnie, a beautiful Chicago heiress with a
reputation to mend, seems the answer to all their prayers.
As the writer of the pilot episode of the original
Upstairs, Downstairs--Fay Weldon brings a deserved
reputation for magnificent storytelling. With wit and
sympathy--and no small measure of mischief--Habits of the
House plots the interplay of restraint and desire, manners
and morals, reason and instinct. "--|cProvided by
