Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, set at the end of the 19th century in a remote English county, follows the inhabitants of Blankshire as newcomer Thomas Brand arrives to disrupt their long-standing social hierarchy. Brand, who made his fortune after years of hard industrial work, buys the grand estate of Farringdon and attempts to breach the county's exclusive social circles. When his attempts to be accepted are met with resistance, Brand's bullish obstinacy is ignited, and he resorts to an ostentatious ball in a bid to dazzle the locals into submission. The author explores the themes of social class and ambition, with Brandâs relentless pursuit of status serving as a catalyst to expose the hypocrisies and prejudices of the upper classes. The novel is a fascinating portrayal of the clash between old and new money, tradition, and social change.
