About this audiobook
Jane, the put-upon wife of the current Earl, Kitto, scraping a life for her children and in-laws in a few drafty rooms of the big house, is trapped by Trelawney Castle; while Blaze, Kitto's sister, has made a killing in the City-and a complete turkey of her personal life. Long-estranged, the two women are brought back together when a letter arrives; and soon after it, an unwelcome young guest. Grudgingly reunited, Blaze and Jane must band together to take charge of their new charge-and save the house of Trelawney.
With formidable sharpness, delicious irreverence, and a very wicked wit, House of Trelawney is a glorious send-up of recession Britain and its carnival of bastard bankers and down-at-heel toffs.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought it was great! I hadn’t yet read a fiction book set against the 2008 financial crisis and it was interesting overlayed with the aristocracy. Left me hoping for a sequel.❤️
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was a terribly disappointing book. It had so many good ideas for storylines and blew every single one. Every time you start liking a character they make a stupid decision and you go back to disliking them again. I kept waiting for it to get bettrr and it never did. What a waste!
