Great Granny Webster by Caroline Blackwood
A darkly comic, unsparing portrait of an elderly matriarch whose decline and eccentricities lay bare the brittle hypocrisies and long-buried resentments of her privileged family; as relatives jockey for position, try to manage or manipulate her, and old wounds resurface, the story sharpens into an observation of isolation, shifting power, and the corrosive effects of inherited wealth and social pretension.
