A Buyer's Market by Anthony Powell
Narrated by Nicholas Jenkins, the novel moves from schoolboy recollections into the tangled social world of interwar England, following a succession of country-house weekends, dinners and salons where alliances form, manners slip and small intrigues determine reputations. Through a gallery of recurring acquaintances—awkward ambition, genteel decline and eccentric wit—the narrator watches marriages, separations and quiet acts of social climbing, offering a wry, elegiac portrait of shifting tastes, power and the slow passing of time.
