Habits of the House

A love story, a happy end, a lively attack, haute-couture dresses and haute-cuisine meals: some quotable characters, some agreeable sex, some very witty lines – what else can you want from a novel? – unless perhaps a soupcon of Weldon perception and brains. Think fin de siecle and it`s all here, in HABITS OF THE HOUSE. Isobel, Countess of Dilberne, is obliged to pair off her handsome, wilful son with a rich and pretty heiress from the Chicago stockyard. He`s all the new internal combustion machines: she`s all art. It`s a clash of cultures and principles. Gold mines fail, bankers plot, bad girls flourish, London fog descends, Royalty intervenes, and your heart`s in your mouth, hoping for the best for these unlikely lovers in the first in Weldon`s Love and Inheritance trilogy.
