About this audiobook
The peaceful facade of an English country estate is shattered when a scandal involving a local village girl threatens the reputation of the ruling family. As the patriarch tries to manage the fallout, the inherent hypocrisies of the landed gentry are ruthlessly exposed. Galsworthy examines the rigid class structures and the moral compromises required to maintain the status quo. It is a sharp, observant novel that deconstructs the myth of the idyllic rural aristocracy.
