Publisher's Summary
'Fellowes doesn't try to hide his love of the funny, sealed, above-stairs world of dukes, duchesses, marquesses, nursery maids, herbaceous borders and breakfast kedgeree, all of which makes Snobs such a good, fresh read.' (Daily Telegraph)
Edith Lavery is a woman on the make. The attractive only child of a middle-class accountant, she leaves behind her dull job in a Chelsea estate agents and manages to bag one of the most eligible bachelors of the day: Charles Broughton, heir to the Marquess of Uckfield. But is life amongst the upper echelons of 'good' society all that it seems? Edith soon discovers there's much more to the aristocracy than dancing in Anabel's, shooting small birds and understanding which fork to use at dinner. And then there is Charles's mother, the indomitable Lady Uckfield, or 'Googie' to her friends, who is none too pleased with her son's choice of breeding partner.
With twists and turns aplenty, this is a comical tale worthy of a contemporary Jane Austen.

Loved it
Brilliant listen, I can quite easily believe that the world of Mr Fellowes’s characters works the way he describes it. The fact is I will probably never know, but it makes a good book. I really wanted it to end differently though...

A fun book by a clever writer
I really enjoyed this. The narrator was great and the story was entertaining and an interesting commentary on the traditional class system in the UK, even in modern times. Enjoyable. Recommend.

Really enjoyed the humor. Thought Richard Morant was an excellent choice to narrate the story.
