About this audiobook
The Duke of Omnium, once a master of politics, finds himself utterly baffled by the rebellion of his own children after the loss of his wife. As his sons face expulsion from school and gambling debts, and his daughter insists on marrying a commoner, the Duke must confront the changing tides of the aristocracy. The narrative offers a sympathetic view of a rigid man trying to bridge the emotional distance between himself and a younger, more modern generation. It is a moving study of parental love struggling against the constraints of tradition and duty.
