Praise for Past Imperfect: From the creator of DOWNTON ABBEY and THE GILDED AGE

  • Fellowes populates PAST IMPERFECT with a gallery of sometimes grotesque but mostly affectionately drawn toffs - acidly observed by the narrator, ever peevish, ever diverting. - DAILY EXPRESS

  • Its plot cannot fail to grip the reader. - SPECTATOR

  • The story takes us back to the Season of 1968 and its lavish balls and parties, to the debutantes, to the eligible men who accompanied them...Poignant, funny, fascinating and moving, this clever and touching novel is surely the must-read book of the year - SUNDAY EXPRESS
