The Edwardians by Vita Sackville-West
A witty, elegiac portrait of early 20th-century English high society that follows an aristocratic household and its circle through salons, country-house entertainments, flirtations and rivalries; with sharp social observation and luminous descriptions of interiors and gardens, the narrative exposes the complacency, contradictions and moral squabbles of a privileged world whose old certainties are being undermined by changing tastes, restless desires and the encroachment of modern life.
