Fay Weldon

The award-winning writer for Upstairs Downstairs presents a first entry in a new trilogy about the shared lives of masters and servants at the turn of the 20th century, tracing the family life of Cabinet hopeful Lord Robert, who hopes to alleviate financial woes by marrying his son to a disgraced Chicago heiress.

Habits of the House

Lea de Sousa

I read this book because of the sticker on the cover recommending it to fans of Downton Abbey. It's set in the same era, about an earl and his family and has many similar characteristics but you really can't compare. Downton leaves you on the edge of your couch and balling your eyes out where as this book is rather predictable.

Habits of the House is also lacking in depth and comes across as flat writing but the story line is entertaining enough to get you to read the sequel just to find out what happens to Minnie and Arthur although it is a bit obvious.
