Flashback to the 1920s and 1930’s
To a time warp Downton and the Forsytes have yet to reach and in which Brideshead and Christie basked. An interwar interlude of stylish elegance and chivalry where honour, respect, courtesy and an upright moral code still counted. An era when the mistress of a great house would be conveyed to town in a chauffeured Sedanca de Ville, possess the finest gowns and still employ a small army of retainers. A period when upper class glamour veneered society’s hypocrisy and corruption.Virtue alone is the true nobility
THE LAST CHATELAINE tackles the subject of legitimacy. Whilst we might aspire to have been born gumming the proverbial silver spoon, who’s to say we still mightn’t have the chance. As the book illustrates - Sola Nobilitas Virtus - rather than an accident of birth, virtue alone is the true nobility. Inherited genes are certainly no guarantee of suitability for the task.THE LAST CHATELAINE is for people who still dream.
But ... Paradise must be adapted
‘With theCountess gone, along with the others of her generation, and at a time when our country was riding a crest of opportunity, there was nothing to stop this whole area breaking out. Folk had never had the possibilities before. Suddenly Nirvana beckoned from all directions and there was hardly anyone left to stop it. People here discovered greed, aggression and competition; for the first time fearing their neighbour might get more than they did. What can you expect if you take the stopper out of a bottle as influential as Sanderling.’Buy : The Last Chatelaine: - hardbook edition priced £6.99,
