Book Synopsis:
Dilke charts the
inevitable end of an era in this soothingly predictable romantic saga about an
aristocratic British family, the Chandlers. Lord Harry; his wife, Felicity;
oldest daughter Eve; darling "turtledove" Alice; and youngest
children Hugo and Kathy live decorously, if not always happily, at Edgarton,
the country estate that's been in the family for 400 years. It's 1965, and
Alice, the beauty of the family, has made a suitable match with a
"decent" chap, her titled neighbor Edward. But she loves an
unscrupulous horse dealer, Marcus, and their passion reignites after her
marriage. Eve, the brains of the family and Alice's best friend, is at Oxford,
reading Marx and dating her working-class boyfriend, Seb.
Both girls see a
reversal in fortunes when Alice suffers a botched abortion from her affair, and
Eve is expelled from university for her involvement. Meanwhile, their parents
carry on a sham of a marriage between pheasant shoots and dinner parties until
Harry's relentless philandering culminates in an affair with a servant's nubile
daughter. An anticlimactic epilogue set in 2002 details the Chandler's
financial demise, the sisters' role reversal and a happy blurring of class
lines. Readers who relish aristocratic glamour spiced with a little class
conflict will be lured by this romance.

Book Gradings
I utilise the following Grading
Scale when assessing the books that I place on eBay:
VERY FINE (VF) This is the highest grade given to any copy and is a
term which describes a crisp fresh copy with no flaws.Any copy with even a minor blemish must not be
graded 'very fine'; therefore, there is no 'else very fine' grade.Sellers should only use 'MINT' if the book looks
as good as it would have done when originally published.
FINE (F) A copy that is without visible flaws, but one that may
lack the pristine crispness of a very fine copy.Many antiquarian dealers quite properly never
give a book a grade higher than fine.A book
that is graded 'fine' has had excellent and loving care.Any minor blemish in the book or the dust
wrapper must be noted in the description.
VERY GOOD (VG) The most common grade given to a collectable copy, very
good means exactly what it says. A very good copy is no longer fresh; it has been
handled and shows some signs of wear, but is still sound and appealing.Flaws such as ownership signatures, bookplates
and rubbed out pencil marks must be noted in the description, along with rubbing,
chips and tears, and a price-clipping in dust wrappers where applicable.
GOOD (G)
Usually if a book is graded ‘good’; it means it has several flaws.Good is the lowest grade given to a collectable
copy.The book has been well-read and abused,
but it is whole.There may be one major flaw,
like damp staining or a cracked hinge that keeps it from a higher grade or there
may be an accumulation of minor problems.A dust wrapper may have lost some design elements lost, but it must not be
fragmentary.
POOR/FAIR/READING COPY ONLY
The lowest grade given to a book that is not whole either in the binding or in the
text, or if it has been abused to the point that it is no longer sound or attractive.A frequently seen example of an uncollectable
book is an ex-library copy, with such common blemishes as pockets glued to, or torn
away endpapers, abundant rubber stamped dates and pasted-down lending sheets.An ex-library copy, while not collectable, may
be an acceptable reading copy.
