Bøger af Julian Fellowes

Fine fornemmelser er et portræt af 90’ernes engelske overklasse og dem, der vil give deres højre arm for at tilhøre den. Edith Lavery, en klassisk smuk engelsk blondine med et indladende væsen og en for middelklassen rimelig sikker stil, er en kvinde, der ved, hvad hun vil. Selv om Edith lever et almindeligt Londonliv med ligegyldige venner og et kedeligt job i et ejendomsmæglerfirma, lykkes det hende at charmere aristokraten Charles Broughton, der er arving til godset Broughton Hall og alene af den grund en efterstræbt ungkarl. Da Charles frier, siger Edith lykkeligt ja. Men livet blandt engelsk landadel med de mange uskrevne regler, der er beregnet på at afsløre en middelklasseopkomling, er ikke for sarte sjæle, og Broughton Hall regeres enevældigt af Ediths svigermor, den legendariske Lady Uckfield. ’Googie’, som hun kaldes i inderkredsen, bliver hurtigt klar over, at det ikke så meget er Charles, som det er grevindetitlen, der interesserer Edith, og så er magtspillet mellem de to kvinder i gang. Fine fornemmelser er en moderne Jane Austen-historie. Den leverer, som også hun gjorde i sine romaner, et røntgenbillede af sin tid og en ætsende skarp hudfletning af den engelske overklasse – og af dem, der vil give deres højre arm for at tilhøre den.

Den 15. juni 1815 om aftenen samles den engelske overklasses fornemste repræsentanter i Bruxelles til, hvad der senere skal gå over i verdenshistorien som et af de mest berygtede baller – hertuginden af Richmonds bal. Det er aftenen før Slaget ved Waterloo, og mange af ballets flotte unge mænd vil den følgende dag optræde på slagmarken. For Sophia Trenchard, den unge, smukke datter af storhertugen af Wellingtons krigsleverandør, kommer denne aften til at forandre alt. Men det er først 25 år senere, da den opadstræbende Trenchard-familie flytter til Belgravia, Londons nybyggede rigmandskvarter, at aftenens virkelige eftervirkninger bliver mærkbare. For i denne nye verden, hvor aristokratiet må omgås med nyrige opkomlinge, er der dem, der ville foretrække, at fortidens hemmeligheder forbliver skjulte … Forfatteren af tv-serien Downton Abbey har skrevet en ny grandios roman, Belgravia – en verden af sladder og intriger, et mylder af personer, høje som lave, herskab og tjenestefolk, deres indbyrdes relationer, drømme, kampe og kærlighedsliv. Belgravia er tidligere udgivet som e-bogs- og lydbogs-føljeton og foreligger nu i en smuk indbundet udgave.
